Not only am I happy that is Friday and I get a couple of days off but a few things are happening on the 580 !I
finished the last of the hull chine reinforcing last night with the help of a couple of friends which turned out very nice.
The v-berth dech hatch arrived today. I found a brand new Lewmar deck hatch and screen kit for less than half price ! Wahoo! It seemed to good to be true but it arrived as described with not a flaw on it ....
I got the keel plate plasma cut and I will be adding the leading edge and trailing edge profile to it next week.
Thanks Bob ! Yes, the FG tubes will bond to the hull fiberglass. If any water gets into the bolt area, it won't be able to start rotting the oak floor beam. A builder in New Zealand made that suggestion in his procedure so I can't take credit for that one ......
Great stuff Dan. Wonderful to see this project come alive. The FG tube through the floors is a great idea!. I assume this is for the keel bolts?
