Fibreglass

I am part way through applying fibreglass on the deck and cabin. It is slower progress than the bottom of the hull due to the more complex shapes, however the warm and dry weather at the moment makes it easier to get a good result.

Here are some photos of cloth laid out ready to go.

As I mentioned in earlier comments, there are different methods to apply the cloth. It has been a good learning curve by doing the relatively simple shape of the bottom of the boat before doing the top as the top is harder to do. But I am getting the hang of it. What works for me is to cut the cloth to length and spread it out smooth over the surface and tape the over hanging edges in place and cut for corners etc before putting any epoxy onto it. Then just wet out the cloth  in one direction, coming back where I started with a sharp blade to trim when it is starting to gel.

I have been surprised by how you can get the cloth to go over very tight radius edges without getting air bubbles if done carefully.

Cabin Done

Here it is.

With the cabin finished, the port hull is now structurally complete. Lots of things still to add though, but a very nice stage to be at where I can visualise how it is all going to work.

I have filled all the screw holes and gone over the corners with the big 50mm router bit. It is now ready for a layer of boat cloth.
