cat boanerges

The process : build a exact copy of the boat in wood (plug), seal it with a smooth coat

the outer layer of the GRP deckt (with the smooth outerskin still in the mould) before a foam layer is applied

preparing glass fabric and foam to glue on the GRP part still in the mould.

after the foam is gue inside the GRP deckpart, the surface is smoothed and extra layers of glass are applied

inside the deck and hull connection is reenforced with glass

this will become our next boat, how much work still?

a hole is cut to install the daggerboard case inside in the hull

a hole will be cut here to glue the daggerboard case inside the hull

the case is mounted, the daggerboard enters from outside above and stick below the hull in the water

our first hull is ready to install the interior (to our own design)

the wooden plug of the middle beam, a very strong and complicated part. the mast will exert a enourmous compresion on the construction

again, the first layers of glass in the mould of the middle beam

finishing off the interiour
