Home Up The Crew The Yacht The Fun

This is a crucial month in achieving my aim of turning the hull this summer. By the 8 July I have the first 4 plates of the 3rd layer fitted.  Importantly I have established how the tanks (for water and fuel) will be integrated into the structure. 

(Left: Lifting 3rd plate into place. Right: welding the stem bar.)

It is critical that the sequence of building is correct as the tanks must obviously be fluid tight and must be welded from both inside and out whilst also ensuring the plating is also welded both sides.

(Left: Babes already on the boat)

(Right: Preparing the first girder)

Again I had a short distraction this month - making some ribs for Frame No 1 that for some reason were left out of the original kit.
