Working on deck #2

Carrying on working on the deck, we finished laminating on bow starboard on the hull and we laminated the flange going on top of the girder.

Andrew's SUPB. SUP boarding is a sport that a paddler has to fundamentally controll the stability. He cut the deck out to lower the centre of gravity, which has no problem at structural view.

We don't need to bevel all the way long the foam but to do on each frame to fit in situ. We used grinder in this case and are going to round the joint up after turning over the deck.

a tiny bid on the joint

I didn't know we glued up the forward deck which looks nice now. Some pice of timber were used to push the joints down and to make the deck camber shape. Some wedges are seen.

the girder vacuuming done well

a small section of the joint on butt joint for cockpit sole wasn't glued enough so that they seperated. We glued today but used different resin though. We have to make sure we can see the tiny bid when glueing the joint.

The glass plate was well done. The curve on top was done by diamond grinder and the flat on the bottom was done by long boarding.

Those are the measurements in every 30mm transversely from the centreline with a right angle to station 3, which is a circular shape of forward part of cabin top.

Transfer the dimension on a piec of cardboard then do it on the deck again.

fit the cockpit sole on situ. quite a bit space. Tristan is holding the mast bulkhead on his hand.

Watch the bulkhead stuck in the deck which can be crushed.

dryfitting the strip. Try not to use nails much on the foam. We can see the line in front of cabin top. We have to tapered by sanding in order to get the deck and strips proper attaching surface.


getting there

bevel the strips to fit them each other due to the shape of cabin top

bevel on each frame and sand a bit in order to sit in situ

The flat side on the top of this mast bulkhead goes under the glass plate which has been made of 14 layers of glass and we glued 2 of them!

The strips on each side of the centre line sit where they have to be on.


\The first cabin top foam strip has been cut on the declined table to get proper bevel angle which doesn't uniform all the way long but we got the smallest angle and we can bevel bigger angle by eyes and hands checking.

What sort of rock is on the blade? The grinder for sanding the surface of glass plate

a bit strips on the frame. We might be able to glue all of them tomorrow.

give it a scew not to let the edge go up. Deck under the strips will be cut after turning over the deck and the joint will be rounded up.

Is it straight enough? 3 layers of EDB312

on going

It looks like sushi.

Chris made him a jig not to get the plate keep falling over.

Jigsaw puzzle at stern port deck

The slit is the thickness of the hull, the difference of the level on each side is the thickness of the frame, which means the edge on the left part is AP.

SMART. We can see the transom and AP.

Cutting the redundant part of the girder by using diamond grinder, Chris dressed up perfectly in isolated room having suction on.

getting the girder fit in hull with using spirit level on it

There is heaps of gap between them but we've got heaps on the top so we can deduct that much of the gap.

What's the name of this useful tool? The point is that we have to use this vertically to make sure the height is constant, which means to get rid of the gap.

We have to use same capacity of the foam with same thickness to use offcuts.

We made nice hats on the strips made with pine against the frame scribed on top of the foam going on the frames. Use some bits of plastic on each frame not to get the glue stuck on the hat and frame. We also numbered each strips with numbers on masking tape on them not to be confused.

scraping excess glue

nice fitting. The girder goes on to this. We cut the slit out an half from the top of bulkhead and another half from the bottom of the girder. The girder also has to go through the ring frames which shouldn't be cut. We can easily imagine that it would be weaken if it is cut the centre out.

glue the jigsaw puzzle in the end

quite a bit gone on the frames

nice and neat laminating at bow starboard, which I did

slits for fitting on to the ring frames. They have to be neither loose nor tight, have to be reasonably perfect.

T-flange.

completed glass plate laminating


The first cabin top foam strip sitting on the deck has to be given a scew and was nailed on top of it to push it down.

How we can mix the powder in proper way to duplicate the dense of foam we use?

This glue for strips has ADR resin with 80% of WEST 410 microlight fairing filler and 20% of 403 microfibre adhesive filler powder.

I feel like I became a photographer thesedays...
