Mark Rendelman hull 24 Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Well today was a milestone for any of us stitch and glue boat builders I was able to go 3D this took some work but with the help of a neighbor and my wife and the winch of my side x side we did it. My wife’s first words were it looks like a boat, everything went well and the panels lined up evenly but I do have issues with the #1 bulkhead that will be addressed when I come back from California to visit my grandson.

Mark Rendelman hull 24 Posted November 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Since my last post I have made some progress I have glassed the center board trunk, wired the hull tight fit bh 1&2, also installed hanging knees, along with bh 3.at that point I removed bh 1&2 so I could apply the fillet in the bow then glassing according to the build sheet. After the bow glass job cures I will refit bh 1 and spot glue it in place, The next thing will be to remove the transom so I can place the scaffolding in the boat so I get to keel and start the fillet process iam sure this will take several days to complete. I don’t know why you can’t just cut a filler piece on the constant angle and glue it in I do plan to build floor slats to fit the cockpit floor anyway any feed back will be helpfully appreciated. mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Rendelman hull 24 Posted January 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 CS20mk3 hull #24 build Well Christmas and new year have come and gone I hope all is well with everyone, I have been busy out in the boat house, to solve the cold problem with building in the shop I built a make shift tent out of plastic sheet and use a MR heater to warm it. Its not hard to keep it at 64 or so. But I have a 220,000 btu heater being delivered at the end of the week this should heat the whole shop along with the wood stove. I have installed the cockpit sides and some of the major bulkheads so I can walk in the boat but even with that it still a little spooky feeling the hull flex under your feet. Once I have the cockpit sides glassed in I hope it will stiffen it up, after that I will be moving to the bow and working on completing those compartments and getting them sealed and painted the chain locker and the storage locker will get painted. Well I guess that’s all I have now and will post again when I have made some major progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmosSwogger Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Nice progress, thanks for the pictures. It is a cool experience to feel the boat gradually stiffen up as parts get glassed in, the flexing you feel now will mostly go away. Painting out compartments is probably the most fun however. Post some more pictures after you get some paint down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
