Section 4 is ready to leave the garage , so need to make space outside . Removed section 2 of the hull from the rotate cradle and moved the cradle back round the front yard , rotated and positioned in place above Section 3 that has been sitting ready for it .
Time to rock and roll:
Bit by bit , up she goes
Taking my time , slowely but surely
Balance point now , time to move the chain from the pull side to the brake side
Now back down the other side ( nice and slowely ) . Chain has been attached to the reverse upper point on the cradle .
Almost there !
Phew !! , Down !! , and no crash this time !!
Now that this piece is the right side up , can now fit more of the internal structure , plywood bracing floors added to the frames , internal structual keel and the false floor supports . As this is one of the middle sections of the hull , not much in the way of hull shape changes , put plenty of space . This is the port hull , this section ( roughly 7 ft by 16 ft ) will contain a small workshop area , in the starboard hull it contains a utility room under the main kitchen area for processing of laundry etc . There is more hull side to be added ( 24 " on the outer side ) , and it will end up with 6 ' 6 " of usable headroom . This side meets up with the 45 degree section of the wingdeck , fully loaded displacement waterline is approx 12" up from the chine .
