some new metal work

I started this morning with cutting some carbon for taping the comings and then cut some access holes in the bunks, this did took the rest of the morning. In the afternoon I went to the metal shop of a friend of my. His shop Stainless Products makes also the foil and rudder systems for the GC32 . They made the mast base and all the metal work for the beams. I bevel the edges and then they will be anodized later.

cut access hole in front of coaming

I quit a couple hours from work to do some little work on the coamings, first I made the front top panel to fit and I then decided how the access hole must be. It took some time to draw the line and to place the exact spot for the hole saw. At last I cut the end pieces from some of cut carbon pieces.

taped the after inside of the coamings

I started in the morning to cut and grind the tops in shape and as last I took the router to round the edges. In the afternoon I cut some access holes in the sides so I have a little storage later for a winch handle and for now more room to tape the inside. The next thing to do is to glue the after sides in place and still have the do the front side the same way.

glued the coaming tops in place

I started with unpacking yesterday's work, I had to cut the edges to get rid of the excess carbon. I than cut some carbon to glue the top with the foam what I did earlier to fill the tops. I used some screws to hold the tops in place when I glued them on top. In the afternoon I  placed a side panel for the kitchen cupboard and did gives the backrest some extra strength.

put the backrest in place

I start this morning to make some planks to get the same angle of the backrest as the other, I than glued and tape the back of the backrest. After that I cut the tops of the coming of HD foam. In the afternoon I cut all the necessary stuff to do some vacuum yob of the kitchen panel and the HD foam tops. I came also to the conclusion that I run out of the 400gr carbon, so I did take some extra layers 300gr on the HD tops. After I did vacuum on the table I inspected the backrest and it was already settled so I could take the planks away and taped the front of it also.

taped the inside of the bunk

I took a hour free from work to do a small job. I started with taping the other side of the backrest and I then did the inside of the bunk, this is no easy job because you have to work in a small narrow space but in the end I was satisfied. I still have to do the bottom but that is for next time and gravity is not fighting against me than.

taped some varios panels

I started this morning with glue some pieces to the comings and filled the top with some foam what will be later used as gluing edge for the top panels.
In the afternoon I made a mold to glue and tape the backrest panels together on the same angle as the other one. After that I taped the outside of the step up, the footrest and a part of the bunk top edge.
