Hull 1 done

Well, done enough, for now.

When I started building I was not sure where I would put the first hull while I built the second one, I thought I might have to keep it outside. Recently I realised I had just enough room in my garage to store it in there while I build hull 2 which also meant I could get away with not completely finishing it with regards to fittings, windows, hatches etc. So I have moved it aside to set up for the starboard hull.

I managed to do the move by myself with a little help from a skateboard and some tie downs.

It was quite easy to shift it around, but I took my time. I was worried about it falling over.

Using a tie down here to stop it falling over while the wing support was removed.

And here it is in it's new spot. While it waits for it's twin. :)

Non Skid

Non slip surfaces on boats are essential. There are a few ways you can achieve this, I have chosen to use this painted method. Basically it is just very thick paint and using a rough roller the idea is to create a rough lumpy paint finish, which is a nice change to normal painting where you want the opposite.

I am very happy with how much grip the finished surface has and how easy it was to apply. It should be fairly easy to maintain also.
