December

It's really slow with boatbuilding now, but I managed to laminated quite a few panels last month. 75% of the deck panels, 50% of aft berth and shower panels.

Chamfer panels are in place

October is over as well as another step in my boatbuilding process:
Inner panels are in place.
It took me a month to fabricate and glue the panels in.

Daggerboard case cut-out

Last summer I built two daggerboard cases mock-ups from cheap EPS foam and then I make a starboard cut in order to install the daggerboard case.

You could see details on pictures below.

Rudder's hardware

My  inventory:

Last spring I’ve got titanium rudder shafts with derlin gliding bushings (thanks Dad!),  as well as bulkhead steerer case and steering wheel hub with a stainless steel shaft.

So, the next step (when I`m done with glassing the hull in my shed for the season) is gonna build a pair of rudders in my garage.

Forward crossbeam panels

August 2011.
I vacuum bagged and installed few panels for the front crossbeam.
I also changed the shape of D-panels to made kid's berths a bit wider.
It allows accommodating twin-size mattresses for both of them.

You can see the changes
being made there.
