The long awaited good weather has finnaly set in. I've been working so intensively that it becomes hard to find time to update the blog. Today I probably put over 10h on the project!
Just to keep you posted here are two photos of the latest work. It doesn't seem much but there's a lot of hours into them. Despite the good weather, temperatures are still mostly under 20ºC and cool overnights and that slows down resin curing times. Normally I laminate or apply putty on one day , sand the next day and repeat the routine.
Front beam mounts are locked in place. Next come the mold plates, the remaining UD's ( miles of them!) and interior and exterior lamination. Still many hours to go on these.
Today just prepared the aft beam mounts ready for putty filling tomorrow. Photo was taken with the mobile phone and is not very sharp.
So far levels and aligments seem to be ok despite the need to tweek a bit with the portside aft beam. I guess the large fillets used to fix the mount ended up pulling the part about 12 mm aft.
Next week should be shopping for two component polyurethane to start painting some of the compartments at the bow area that will be hard to access once starboard panels are glued in place.
Looks like the good weather is going to hold on for the comming days so I'm looking forward for significant progress on the project.
