Insurance..

Due to differences between the plywood building plans and the implementation in strip plank, we decided to add a little bit to the beam seat structure. Aft of the beam seats we have added a bit of ply which we will tape the beam seat to. Then tape the ply to the hull sides.. In theory, this should make the structure strong enough for our 85kg and 98kg dry weight.

All the mistakes..

Ok, we have had our share of mess ups, and a few "quick" solutions..

First, the carbon trick to transfer loads from the bows to the mainbeam and main bulkhead..


Then we re-read the building instructions, and realised that we had a bulkhead in the wrong place. Were we going to tear the bulkhead out and re-install? Nope, we created this beauty instead.. Note to next hull, install bulkhead in right place! There are supports in the bottom and top for the daggerboard well.

Shaping deck supports..

We are busy shaping deck supports and gunwhales..
