unpacked the middle and prepared for the bottom

Started with unpacked the work of yesterday and it look ok. I then prepared the bottom to cut the peel ply away where the extra layers of carbon have to be laid. UD with one layer 250gr 0/90 on top and in the middle a extra layer 400gr 0/90. Al the other stuff is cut to and the vacuum back is already clued to the underside.

laminated the middle section

I laminated today on my own and did the middle section in the morning. After the lunch I did some tape on the daggerboard case and the beam bulkhead. This was a piece what had to be done later because the other time it was on the underside of the daggerboard case. After that I cut some UD to put on the bottom for the next laminating job.

laminated Inside of daggerboard case to the bottom

We first put Thrill Seeker in the inside storage, it was standing in front of the barn because there was no room when we first brought it. It is now standing dry so I can do some maintenance later before the sailing season starts.
Before lunch I unpacked the nose and it looked very good. My dad was also coming for a quick look. After the lunch I started to make the daggerboard case airtight on the inside so I could laminate in the case and put vacuum on it. I put two layers in the case lapping outside over the bottom with staggered edges. After putting the vacuum on I started to cut all the piece for the middle section so I can do this Friday.

Laminated the front

Yesterday Santa arrived early this year, he had gone the whole way from New Zealand to pick up some presents for Nico and us. After that there was not much time left so I only did some little sanding. Today I started with sanding of the bottom of the nose what had some high and low spots. After that was finished I started with cutting the breeder Foley and cloth and went for some lunch. After the lunch Fetske came to help to laminated the front.

Laminated the back

Today we laminated the back as promised yesterday, we started at 11.20 and ended at 15.00. We had three piece carbon of roughly 2,2m we put at the back in vertical order. It was a little bit difficult because you have to walk around and climb on the lather to do the side withs was high in the air. The vacuum back was quickly done, then we did some late lunch and build a tent over the back to keep it warm. Fetske did leave for home and I did put some putty and foam on some low spots on the front.

Update after unpacking

Ready for laminating the back

I sanded a lot today and did some the prep work together for the laminating. Fetske keeps the pressure on, she asked me Friday if we could do some laminating this weekend and answered maybe Sunday, so as promised we do the back of the boat tomorrow.

put some HD foam in the front bottom

I sanded the putty and and checked the low spot in the back, it was nicely gone. On the end of the day I routed the foam in the front bottom to fill it with HD foam and putty. The last job was to fill the low spots and the nose where I did sand.
