taping the cockpit bunks

I started to scraped the putty of last week and then taped most of the panels. I also put some foam to close the gap after the beam mounts. On the end I placed a triangle of foam so I can later cut the after side under a 45 degrade corner.

gluing the bunk panels

Yesterday we did nothing on the boats because we had to go to our multihull club meeting and we had to measure the main of Thrill Seeker.
Today we started in the morning to do some antifouling on one side on Thrill Seeker. After that we glued the bunk panels.

preparing for some panels and cutting some port holes

Yesterday I had to install a new dishwasher so I only spend a half day on building. I cut the foam for the cockpit seats and glued them together. The big piece is 100kg/m3 and the smaller side pieces are 80, they are under the backrests. The 100 makes it stronger, when you sit on your knees there is a possibility you make dents on the seats if you use the 80 and I had still some 100 from the floats.
Today I had to get some tools to finish the install of the dishwasher, the tools were in the shed where Thrill Seeker is stored. After lunch I sanded the glue seams of the panels. After that I decided to cut the port holes, I forgot to make pictures from the outside. After the tea brake I started to put the vacuum table together. Tomorrow we start with assembling the toilet together of the Thrill Seeker and maybe in the afternoon we laminated the panels.

demolding the toilet bowl mold

I started today with demolding the toilet bowl mold, this was no easy job and for the rim I cut that so I could loose this one. On the normal way I could not get it loose. For the bowl mold I did try it but with the experience off the rim I gave up quick and decided to demolish bowl to get the mold out.
The result was very nice, I will alter some details so the rim can fit the bowl. This is a job for later and now the bowl off Thrill Seeker can be placed back.
After lunch I started to make a mockup for the cockpit bunks and comings, I am satisfied with result and Fetske to.

making a mold for the toilet bowl

I started the day to do the other beam mount, I am glad that they are all done now. After lunch I started with making the mold for the toilet bowl. I first put some tape on the boil of Thrill Seeker because this one must be placed back. I then made a putty with some graphite what will be a sort off gel coat and put the different sheets of glass fiber and some carbon offcuts on it. And finally I did put them in a vacuum bag. Now hoping I can get the molds off the bowls.
