Sides getting ziped and epoxy on
.
Now for the start on the interior.
Flip back over cut ties this is the poit that I got my first war woond cutting tip ties off with a razor knife. No blood on the boat though! All zip ties cut put a smooth fillet on all joints, and fill the screw holes that screwed the bow bottoms to framing.
Fore foot at bow is cut and sanded in all most ready for glass.
Glass is in on all joints the only challenge was getting the glass to lay flat on that fore foot nose, had to keep after the two wrinkles to keep them flat until epoxy set.
The start of laying out framing for wings.
The start of 90 deg V grove for birds mouth on staves ran all popular for boom and then came back later to run the Mast material. This simple set up worked really well the only challenge was keeping material down. I wore a leather glove with lots of thumb pressure just before the roughter bit. One piece of mdf scrap with a tool clamp to run material straight a roughter with 1/2 90 deg bit and one one gal vac to keep house clean!
There's that boat!
Wing frames going in the rear 45deg is extremly tough because it is located on a back transom at 1deg out of plumb that meets a 74deg side at a 90deg to frame. I spent a tone of time getting this set up and still blew the first side over size here is what I found as a result. The set up for the cut out should go as follows. First measure down the back transom on the out side 32mm and draw a line on the out side of the side of the boat this line does not have to be long but sets the depth of cut down the side. Next measure from the out side of the transom down the top side of the side 72mm. From the 72mm mark down to the 32mm mark set a protractor for 53 deg ( I was able to establish this with a very accurate machinst protractor with the grace of the material you could go any where between 50 to 55 deg and be ok. The up shot is if all goes wrong and you blow over size like I did on my first side it is a extremely easy fix set some masking tape on the out side of the side light lay a epoxy fillet on the inside and let set.
