The finishing touch to the cupboards on the outside of the hull in the small room in front of the aft bedroom (it is actually 2 rooms, one is the bed itself, the other in front of the bulkhead is now part of the bedroom by the addiction of a dividing wall and doorway) was […]

Back inside the boat the furniture work continues, although I am back down in a hull again as I want to finish the aft bedroom as that is all that is left to do in the Starboard hull in terms of making furniture (there is still a lot of furniture in this hull to be […]

Usually when I am doing 2 of something that are essentially the same thing I have in the past made both at the same time, and I did that when cutting the materials (foam) for these nose cones because I knew I didn’t have enough to finish both, so I had to cut or nest […]

The boat starts at BH0 as a structure but is designed to have a shaped nose made of foam that is sacrificial, that is, if (and the chances are high in the early days months and years) I hit something hard enough, instead of damaging the integrity of the vessel, I make a mess of […]

The front of bulkhead 0 needs to be sealed to the hulls so as to create the end of the structural part of the boat and onto it goes the shaped nose cone. In order to seal the bulkhead to the hulls I rounded off the edges and taped it. But before I could do […]

After a month of not getting much done, which followed a month that I got a lot done I am hoping last month was an aberration and that I can make some serious progress this month, because next month it will start to get very warm again and stay that way for 4 months or […]

Thankfully no-one will ever see the glassing inside bulkhead 0. Whilst it was stuck down and is effective, I have a lot of very sharp jagged edges in there. But I always knew it didnt have to be pretty it just had to be effective. I replaced the front bulkhead pieces dry and using the […]

I was able to borrow a special tool for picking up things in difficult places, it has a syringe like plunger at one end along a flexible line it pushes out retracting fingers that when pushed out widen and when released pull back closing to grab hold of the thing you are trying to pick […]

I have been preparing the shed and the boat to rotate the boat. I have cleared up down one wall but I still have to clear the other wall, which includes removing some of the long bench I have built and to further complicate that job, I have used the space under it as a […]

Well another season has come and gone. Pureseal second test plate (remember first test was an abject failure) has now been in the water 3 months short of 3 years. And it continues to impress me by continuing to do its job. As happened last year, a huge storm blew through a week before the […]
