Opening the Butterfly

I have just completed an exciting phase of building my CS17. On Saturday I fiberglassed the sides to the bottoms at the bow with a 12 in X 2 in bit of 12oz biaxial cloth. On Sunday I put the two sides of the boat together inside face to inside face and wired up the bottom edge. I spaced ties at 6 inches all along the bottom and right up to the tip of the bow on the side panels as well. I then got some help to lift the whole lot onto the building cradle and opened it out like a book. It was like those pop up books we had as kids
