WEEKS TWENTY ONE AND TWENTY TWO

 

Things are really starting to happen. The four motors ( Two for Paul’s boat and two for Chris’s ) arrive are prepared and mounted in the hulls.

Fitting four motors and sail drives into the car and trailer was a challenge!

    

              

The hull side and shoulder are dry fitted. It is really starting to look like a cat now.

( Note the dagger board hole)

It’s catching. It seems anyone can cut holes in the boat. Miss in action.

Timothy B de Mille films the action.

WEEK TWENTY

Ouch!!! Big holes cut in the hulls for the daggerboard cases.

        

Chris drills the guide holes for the jigsaw. Paul doesn’t look worried about the hole in the hull!!

The dagger board cases are in place and glassed in to position.

      

    

WEEK NINETEEN

      

A big week with the construction of the daggerboard cases. Each side, having been glued and kerfed,  is fitted to the daggerboard with spacers in place ( see picture three ). The kerf cuts then have coving mix forced into them to keep the shape.

            

           

Both sides are then refitted to the daggerboard for final shaping and coving.

     

The finished article. Next week the cutting of the holes in the hulls and the fitting!!

       

The ongoing preparation of the saloon module. The supports for the lids are glued and screwed in place. Looking good. Quality control – testing the strength of the lid supports!!

MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE RANCH……….
