Windows & Entrance

Here are the side windows for the boat.

I had these CNC cut which did not cost much more than the cost of the Acrylic. I simply emailed the DXF files and picked them up. The edges are polished and look great. I didn't trust myself to do a good job cutting them, so it is nice to know they are exactly the shape designed for the boat.

I then used the actual windows to mark out the hole.

Next job was cutting out the area which will become the hatch and entrance for the cabin.

Obviously, lots of care needed here, so I took my time using the multitool to get a nice clean and straight cut.

The pieces I cut out will be used to help form the sliding hatch and entrance panels.

Cabin continues

The outside of the cabin is now really taking shape. I used the laser level to get both sides of the cabin to match, and added an extra layer of ply on the inside to strengthen the chain plate area. Then the roof is placed on as two layers of 4mm ply to get the curve.

I thought I would add this photo after speculating in the previous post comments about how it will sail. The hulls are fairly slim with a 16:1 l/b ratio.
