NOTE: Sorry for the low quality of the images. Both my cameras broke down so i am using the mobile.

 

 

Here hardwood compression blocks are seen being glued.

 

 

 Front beam lamination done. Given the high temperatures had to laminate the top UD in a second stage. Used DB (45º/45º) over just as in equivalent prior steps.

Current stage. No much new on the exterior ( most of work is on the inside). Bow area can be seen unglassed. Should be doing it soon. Generally the surface looks reasonably smooth and I hope it won't take much fairing build up.

Right now I am working on the front beam central arch web and am finding some dificulty getting a strip with just the right combination between flexibility and stifness. Also expect some tricky work setting up the UD on a tight spot near the berth tops. Will see.

Heat wave has gone past by now and it's becoming much more confortable to work down there!

By the way ,as I had promised these are the molds I used for the beam mounts. Took a slightly different aproach and worked just fine.
