Plywood parts and the keel trunk...

All the plywood parts (I counted 176 total) for the boat were precision cut on a CNC machine by Brandon Davis at Turnpoint Design in Port Townsend.

design on Eric's laptop.

The five-axis machine that did the cutting.

It doesn't really look like a boat

I built a rack out of pvc pipe and some
fiberboard to keep the parts
off the floor and accessible.

While I was busy putting the jig together, Russell Brown created the keel trunk which is the heart of this boat.  Everything will be built around it.  I had Russell do this as it needed to be done absolutely right.  It is highly engineered with many parts and carbon fiber fabric.  I didn't think I was ready for this kind of part just yet.

The two sockets visible to the right of the 2x4 will take the
crane assembly that will lift and lower the keel in the trunk.

A beautiful piece of work - less than 40 pounds!

A look inside

The top of the trunk is attached to the rafters to hold it in position.
