DawnS Posted August 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 So..... even though very silent, Paul and I are now building. Life got in the way for awhile, I think we took about a 6 month break, and, we are very slow. Alan insists we won’t win the award for slowest build if we’d get at it. It just seems like so much more fun to sit with a beer and watch Alan’s videos on “how to” then to actually do it But we are back at it. Reacher I don’t know about any deleted photos, our photo album is here https://photos.app.goo.gl/x31T1GQgSfhR7eDz8 We have not been very good lately at taking pictures, but we do plan to take a bunch this evening and write up a report on where we are, and some of the creative things we’ve done and plan. So stay tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnS Posted August 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Here is where we are in our build The anchor well floor has been glued in. The forward locker is constructed. The cabin bunks are done. We just finished glueing in the hanging knees. Epoxy coating of cabin bunks and sides will be next. In the cabin, the lids for the bunk storage compartment are held down by magnets. We recessed 4 magnets in the inside corners of the lids, and the underside of the hatch rings. The battery box in front of ballast tank waiting on electrical planning. We plan for the boat to be all solar, including an electric motor, so some planning needed on how to run the wires. The baffles in the ballast tank have been installed. The tops are not glued in yet as plumbing decisions still needed. Might wait to see what Alan plans for that. Bulkhead 3 (cabin door) not installed yet. Much of the cockpit structure is complete and epoxy coated. Still need to make hatch and hatch rings, and cleats for cockpit seat tops. We plan to use electric motor, installed inboard at the transom locker. Need to buy the electric motor in order to work on that. The idea is that the motor will installed in a well in the transom locker. Lots more to do. And more pics updated at https://photos.app.goo.gl/x31T1GQgSfhR7eDz8 IMG_0869.MOV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmosSwogger Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Excellent idea to use magnets there. Thanks for all the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
