Last turning over

We finished making splashes and turned the boat over eventually.


In order to do some extra work on the boat as well as to fit in exact position, we made temporary spalls supporting the legs.


Lance is taking the centrecase plug out with a piece of wood and a hammer smacking on the wood.

Install the other ones diagonally as well

Turned over. Those extra bits has to be cut with diamond saw later on.


Chris explained us about moulding. It is a bit unfamiliar, I have worked for mackay boat for a while though.

Gel coat has such a porous surface so we put chop strand mat on it. Peel ply is made of open weave deklon and coated with teflon. That's why it is peeled off easily.

From above.

Chris introduced this material which is good for making moulds. It is solid and is low shrinkable but expansive.

Andrew is cutting the extra bit.

Tapu is sanding the prow tube flush to nosecone.

We used contact adhesive to put the blue foam and splashes together. Put some glue on the surface, wait until it becomes as tacky as not sticking to fingers. It can't be re-attached once it is stuck. Lance said that pre-preg material is so.

completed splash

Put the splashes on the floor, turned the boat over and sit her on the splashes. We finished structural job.

We are talking about how the boat is. Workers' movement or things like that has to be considered to  sit the boat in which way in workshop.

Taken from upstairs. Quite wide.

a nice and lean body
