These curvy bits may look great , but there is a lot of work getting them straight ( HUH ) , well correct anyway . Framing is complete , now I just need to fit the connecting bolts into the frame and we can start the Plywood Skinning of the first section of the second Hull . Each stringer ( longitudinal frame ) is bolted to the transverse frames , originally planned on using Stainless Steel bolts but changed to stainless coach screws , easier and as I soak each hole in activated epoxy resin the holding strength is much better than a standard fit , thanks to the WEST guys for that suggestion in their book .
Garage is a bit messy , but didn't have enough solid timber for this section so had to get another shipment so got enough wood for the next section as well . Have timber stacked everywhere . Plywood sheets ( 18 x 12mm and 4 x 18mm ) have also arrived , so are stacked on the side of the garage , have barely enough room to move , yet along work . At least this being the bow section , its at least narrow at the entrance anyway .
This being the starboard hull the first bulkhead 45 degree additional section is on the left of these pictures , would have been Embarrassing if I had made two Port hulls .
