I have applied the last tape, so the starboard hull is now officially ready to turn. There is nothing more to do to this hull until it is turned. After I turn it, I still have the keel centre to tape on both hulls and then I can start to do things like add the […]
I have just over an hours work to do until I can say I have finished the starboard hull to the turnover stage. I have coved and taped all but 1 of the bulkhead to hull panel joins, with just the aft most bulkhead join to do. I will probably get this done either tomorrow, […]
This past week I managed a couple of 3 hour stints in which I was able to tape 2 bulkheads each time. I coved and taped the 4 bulkhead sides inside 2 of the front 3 sealed buoyancy chambers (between BH1 & 2 and BH2 & 3) leaving just the most forward between BH0 and […]
We got back from our early Christmas retreat a little earlier than expected so I was able to get some more boat work done. This makes up for the slacking I have been doing this past week or so. I taped 3 more bulkhead sides, the back of bulkhead 3 which it the front of […]

It was cooler again today but being a Sunday I took it fairly easy again (the Test match is still on tv) but I did manage to do 2 of the 15 bulkhead to hull tapes. There are 9 bulkheads 0 thru 8 but the front of bulkhead 0 on the outside of the hull […]
The last hull panels to tape were between bulkheads 1 and 2 (there is still one panel to to between 0 and 1 that I did as I attached the panels). I managed to tape this last panel today. I could have started on the bulkhead tapes today also but I am feeling a little […]
I only have a the bulkhead to hull tapes to go and the Starboard hull is ready to turn. I anticipate finishing this work well before Christmas but I don’t think I will turn the hull over until January. One of my tasks in January is to finalize where I will join the hulls. The […]
I have managed to tape the 2 of the last 3 sets of hull panels, the ones between bulkheads 7 and 8 and 2 and 3 leaving only the joins between 1 and 2 to do. There will also be one more tape to do in between bulkhead 0 and 1, I was doing them […]
I only had time to do an hours work on the hull today but I still managed to get an internal section of hull taped. The most forward living space in the Starboard hull, is the ensuite bathroom between bulkhead 3 and 4 and is about 1 meter in length. It is still 6 joins, […]
