laminated some new panel

I started to cut some new panels for the inside bunk so we could laminated a new set. After that I prepared the front bulkhead. I cut my wood mold bulkhead so that I can use it to make a flange for the real bulkhead. The flange is coming below the anchor floor so that we could easily glued the bulkhead to it. In the afternoon we laminated the panels and laminated a flange to the bulkhead. As last job I glued some foam against the chainplates.

glued the anchor locker floor in place

I made the anchor locker floor of  the off cut from the beam bulkhead. I am glad that I have a half front bulkhead, it is now so much easier place the floor. Tomorrow I make some flanges on it so I can glue the other half of the front bulkhead. I did cut the front tubes, I have to put some extra carbon around them because the wall thickness need to be a little more. As that is done I can glue the other tubes in to. I also cut the carbon chain plate.

placed the front stay web

I quit a couple of hours early from work to laminated the center front stay web in place with lots of putty and foam pieces in the nose and as last laminated over this with some carbon. It was a bit of a struggle in the narrow front, but the half bulkhead did give room enough to do the job.

laminated the front stay center web

In the morning I glued the tubes with some HD putty to the center web. After that was finished I glued the bow hammerhead tube in and cut the other tube in half so that can be glued in if the center web is placed. I will use the tube also to attach the tri sail sail stay to drill a hole before and after the tube and make a loop around it. In the afternoon we put UD carbon around the tubes of the centre web.

taped the inside bunk panels

In the morning I unpacked the work of yesterday and made it fit. I then started to make the front center web to fit so I could glue the tubes on it with HD putty before they get some layer UD carbon. In the meantime Fetske did cut all the pieces carbon tape and peel ply. In the afternoon I made a setup for the front web before Fetske did arrive. After that we started with taping the bunk panels and as last we put the two extra panels in and taped them to. When we finished that, it was already five o'clock and we had to got for a dinner so the web has to wait.

bussy with the front

I did some work for the inside bunk so as scraping the edges and making two panels for it but the most of the time was spend on the front to laminate some other piece of foam in the front to make it stronger and the edges smoother. I made the other holes for the front tubes to. On the end I laminated the two bunk panels and the center web for the front stay and gennaker pole.

from the back to the front

I started today to cut and glue the inside bunk panels and in the afternoon I started with preparing the front for the fore stay, as last thing I glued the under inside of the nose with a piece of foam, carbon and putty together. Before that I glued the last side panel in on the bunk.
