The foredeck framing has been completed, as has the framing for the anchor locker. The bulkhead to the aft of the anchor locker will remain as a watertight "collision bulkhead", and passage through it will be via a dogged-down hatch. The deck beams and carlins are constructed of laminated silky oak (an Australian timber). |

A "warts and all" view of the early stages of construction of the integral fuel and water tanks. The hull inside the tanks and all of the panels have been glassed, and all seams have been taped with 2 layers of 600gm/sqm double bias tape. Timber cleats will be fastened to the top of all baffles and tank sides, to increase the glue surface area available for bonding the tank lids in place. |
