Starboard bulwark
rail |
| Gena welded on the little square pieces this time as I was up to no good elsewhere, always wondering where missing parts had disappeared, " over the side! " I said hehe! Hence the primary reason bulwarks were invented in the first place. | |
 |
The weather went nasty so
we had to abort mission on everything outside. Gena did some stiffening of the bulkheads with 1.5" 1/8" angle and I worked on cutting out the pilot house forward entry into down below. There will be a sliding door there we have decided. It will have concentric latches ( something like old house window locks) to tighten down into a gasket if sealing is required. Quick and easy to close. Origionally, I proposed drop
in boards as the area will be open 99% of the time but as
Gena pointed out, drop boards always seem to go missing
when most needed! |
| We don't always agree on everything in the end, but usually the result is agreeable. | |
| Our objective is to
primarily complete everything, cuts, welds etc, on the
forward half of the boat, then get it all foamed. This includes any holes in the hull like sonar and speed indicators, on deck the vents, hatches, holes w/nuts for handrails and cleats, the anchor roller assembly, and mast hole. A tall order but we plan to be there by the end of June to mid July. We have to be! We wanna go cruisin' ! |
