Tom Lathrop Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Went over to take a gander at the new boat taking shape at B&B today. It's a 40' power catamaran and this is the mold for one half of one hull. Kind of impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palolo Hawaii Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 And very interesting. I can see how that bulbous underwater shape required the use of halved-molds or forms as one couldn't pull that hull shape out of a female mold. Will the hulls be identical so this form can be used for the "outside" of one hull and the "inside" of the opposite hull? How many rowing stations will it have, and which class will it be in for the EC? Aloha, pat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this half hull is finished, the mold is taken apart and each section rotated 180 degrees to form the outside of the opposite hull. Molds for the inside section of each hull will be done similarly. I had some trouble visualizing the hull shape for a while but now it seems clear.
