laminating some panels for the anchor well

I started the morning to prepared the vacuum table. I than cut some carbon, bleeder cloth and peel ply. In the afternoon Fetske did come to assist me with laminating the panels, two for the anchor well and two for the septic tank. I made also two small HD panels for under the winches because the space is to narrow to fit my aluminium ring. I hope it will fit if I lower it a bit.
Laminating the panels went quick so we decided to do the entrance of the fridge to. We put some packing tape on the sides so I can laminated on it and the lit get the same dimension as the hole.
The inside will be later filled with Styrofoam. I put some packing tape also on the underside of the top so that they could press the glass down. I put some heavy objects on it. I still had some epoxy left so I did also the last edge of the step-up and with the last epoxy I made some putty to fill some imperfections of the sliding hatch.

starting with the anchor locker

In the morning I made a mold for the flexima mattress what I have ordered. In the afternoon I did go to pick-up the metal work what was anodised and pick-up some Antal over the top tulip blocks for the daggerboard lines.
When I returned back I started to cut the access hole for the anchor locker and cut the panels.

taped the step up and the front panel of the bunk

I started with cutting some carbon to tape the step up to the front and the bunk panel. When that was done I filed the edges of the fridge what I grind away yesterday. In the afternoon I put a tape on the underside of the entrance to make it what stronger because Friday my sliding hatch dropped on it and broke the foam. No big damages but made it clear that there must be some more carbon on it. Later there comes another layer over it again. I winded some carbon on the traveler side stays so that the UD is covered with some biaxial. On the end I started with drawing the anchor hatch on the deck.

cut access hole for fridge in top panel

I had no much time today and I had only the morning to do something. I started with yesterday's panel to cut the edges and to round them. The last thing I could do was to cut a hole in the top panel for the fridge and dremel the edges so I could put some putty in it later.

glued a panel to the end of the bunk

Today I did not have so much time because of some household things in between jobs. In the morning I made the sliding hatch nicer to fit and I cut a panel for the end of the bunk so that it can be closed of.
Late in the afternoon I cut some carbon to tape the under inside of the bunk and to to tape the end piece. Nico did also gave me a visit to get some vacuum foil and to look at the progress. After the thee Fetske and Nico did leave and tape the underside and glued the end piece on its place. Taping the end piece was difficult. The sides where ok but after a few attempts to tape upside of the panel I decided to give it later another try with smaller tapes.

laminated the front of the coamings over to the sides

I started with grinding some openings in the back of the sliding hatch top so that the hatch can go out. I trimed also the top of entrance a little so that the vertical part of the hatch can pass over. The glas of the fridge entrance had to be trimmed also. In the afternoon I grinded the vertical part of the sliding hatch so it can be filled with putty while Fetske did cut the carbon pieces and peel ply. The first thing what we did was filling the edges and and put some putty on the fridge edge so that that can be sanded later. The next job was putting some putty on the underside edges of the top of the sliding hatch. We than laid a tape on the inside over the putty and the turned it over to put it on the deck where we put some tape. The last job was to laminated the coamings over, we also put some UD on the place where some lifting eyes will come.

cut an access hole in the top of the fridge

I started with gluing in some foam in the entrance of the fridge. When the glue was dry I cut the edge flat with the top and cut the access hole in the top. In between I made a vertical panel for under the sliding hatch. In the afternoon we did various tape work like the side of the entrance of the fridge, the bottom of one bunk, the underside of the outside bunk and the vertical panel under the sliding hatch.
