Glassing one before last compartment and double transom

Mum and Dad have been glassing the compartment right underneath the cockpit bench and have also added the second wooden panel to the transom to give it more strength to bear the weight of the motor pod.

Mum learns sanding

You can't build an epoxy boat if you are not sanding half of the time and gluing the other half. So mum, who wanted a bit learnt how to do some sanding work today. Below is an idea of how she performed.

The part just outside of the cabin.

Glassing the motor Pod

Here's the motor pod has been glassed and is ready to receive its inner reinforcements once dry. Also, dad has been able to glass the second compartment inside of the cabin.

fiber glassing of the frontmost compartment of the boat

Today mum and dad fiber glassed the compartment of the boat that comes before the first bulkhead. Also, the filleting was done with the joints of the motor pod's sides.

Here is the completed and glassed joint

The steps to glassing are described below:

The glass was held up by small pins before applying the epoxy glue

glassing of joint of first bulkhead joint and adding second double panel of motor pod

Just like yesterday, dad started working early morning and has been able to glass the joint of the first bulkhead. The motor pod has also had its fair amount of work done and the second panel has been doubled to add more strength.

a little glue had accumulated down and made it a level joint

second panel drying

Adding foremost bulkhead and adding first extra panel to motor pod

Dad has been working right from early morning on the first day of his holidays in order to move forward with his boat project.
The first bulkhead was added and glued in place and the motor pod had its first double-paneling in order to give it more strength to hold the weight of the outboard motors and bear the vibrations.

second plywood added to one panel of the motor pod and weighed down with batteries

first bulkhead added and reinforced with another piece of wood
