Tricky bits

Mostly this boat is quick to build. Mostly.
What isn't so quick is the beam reinforcing areas.

In the picture below you can see part of what forms the structure for taking the aft beam loads.
This is very similar to the port hull except that on the port hull I have made the cross structure much larger and higher using a big piece of Mahogany which will double as a mounting point for the outboard motor.


Also I have restocked some consumables. I have used almost 400 of these disposable gloves so far.

More Gudgeon's

Here is the second set of gudgeon's going on. The picture shows a test dry fitting lined up with the laser before fixing with bolts and epoxy.


I am slowly getting to use all the extra parts I bought during construction of hull 1. Buying two sets of everything early on means not much money has been spent during the second hull build.
