But I'm going to try getting some boat building in while we move. Yup, thats right, do to some health problems my wife has been having we are being forced to move again. 3rd house in 3 years, the saga of the mobile moth shop strikes again. Its a wonder I get any building done at all. But its not all bad, we found a nice house out in the country with a big insulated shop perfect for boat building, its got 220v and everything. The neighbor has a spray booth, and the dinghy park at Union is now just 5 minutes away instead of 35. I was pretty upset we were going to move again, but now I'm pretty stoked with the new digs. I have been working on stuff, so here's the pics.
foredeck strut is bonded and taped, there is a Coosa core compression pad on the bulkhead end, there are also some little stringers to bond the deck extension to.
Mast step, bonded and taped, thats a carbon wrapped Coosa pad on top.
The foilcase is ready to go. Used a couple three layers of 200g uni to stiffen the top a bit. after the deck goes on I'll finish it off with a couple more layers of biax tape.
Uni-ed over the gantry points. and taped up the lister lever thingy.
Turned out good. Nice and stiff and tied to both inner and outer skins.
I also bonded and taped the transom with 200g uni.
I hope to find a little time to make and bond my rack attachment points, bond my deck stringers, and get the lid on this thing before I have to put it away for a couple weekends.
** If anyone wants my tooling I'm giving it away. It was a great learning experience, and was a great way to grab a bunch of skills for future use, but I'm not moving them again and I would hate to see them go in the trash.** (need to start making room for something else)
