Bulkheads Commenced

Now looking like a boat. Hulls have beenĀ leveledĀ and straightened.

Initially, bulkheads were just timber

We have been using a laser level, spirit level and diagonal distances to get it all straight. Hulls are sitting on their keels, with chocks under each end of each hull. Centre-line separation of the hulls is ensured by the length of the bulkheads that join them together.

Frame 2 Beam

At this stage, all components are being “dry fitted”; screwed on but not glued.

Gussets on Frames

Frames 5 and 3, looking forward. A gusset of ply has been added to the bottom of each frame to give it extra stability before the bridgedeck floor is fitted. Our dog needs to be the center of attention, and thinks nothing of jumping up to where the action is. Like our stack of plywood, at times, she behaves just like a cat! Note the high speed tail wag, blurred in the photo.

Looks like a saloon

Just need to add a floor and a few seats. Give it a year.
