We have a lift off

The float half came nice and easy out of the frame but it was a bit off a challenge to get it on the ceiling because of the tight space and the next one must be next to it. After that I started with to alter the frame because I build the 2,5 m wide trailer option. In the mean time my friend Rob came along to look how the progress was going. He did build is boat Waarschip 1010 in 1985. I sail most of my races with him.
After that I started cutting most of the foam for the next half this time I use 100 kg/m3 foam. This is the out side so it will be better resistant to dents.

nice bow (this is the underside)

foil case fitted

Tomorrow we lift the half out of the frame.

fitting the foil case and the rest of the bulkheads

Thursday I did fit the shroud bulkhead and today I fitted the after beam bulkhead and the gussets of the for beam bulkhead. The foil case is glued in place so I can laminate it in place tomorrow.
There are no other photos because the camera gave up.

Arno's bakkery

When the hull was cooking I updated the foam cooker. I made it smaller and better isolation. On the end of the day I laminated the forward bulkhead in place.

nice result

The result is nice, no bubbles.

a long day

Today was a long day, I started at 10.00 and finished at 20.00 and have a tired back now.
I first started with the paint scraper to to clean the bog topside and after that we cut some more carbon, peel ply and breeder folie. I then put the tacky tape on the foam so that the edge stays clean, I did heat the tacky tape with the paint stripper, tape does clue than better.
The vacuum was more than I did need, It did pull 0,9 bar and put it back to 0,7 bar.

Preparation for laminating

Yesterday and today I did some putty filling. I do it in two stages to be sure it is airtight. With paint scraper I prepare the putty for a second layer putty.  We did cut the carbon pieces also. The forward bulkhead is made ready fore the stringer so it can be used to put the stringer in the right place.
