Some inside work...

Sanding, painting, and final epoxy coating of the overhead is easier to do while the boat is upside down.

Additional glass reinforcing and fillets were added to the overhead

while upside down. Backing plates for deck hardware were also glued

in.  An example of the backing plates is shown above.  These were

fabricated from 0.125 inch G10 garolite.  All surfaces were sanded 

to prepare for paint and final epoxy coating.

Paint application procedures were tested on a forward panel.  The triangular

  shaped object is the port forward stantion support which was fabricated with

  high density foam covered with multiple layers of carbon cloth.

Fairing is finally complete...

Almost done here.  A last coat of clear epoxy has been applied.

A layer of InterProtect 2000E gray epoxy primer covers the entire hull

An additional layer of InterProtect white epoxy primer has been added to the underwater
part of the hull up to the boot top, about 4 inches above the design water line.

This trailer will be modified with a "shoe" for the lead keel bulb and cradles which will be
built by taking "splashes" off of the hull while it is still upside down.

Fairing...

Fairing - "Referring to the shape of a vessel’s hull, smooth and flawless, with one curve flowing into the next one smoothly and with beauty, having no bumps or bulges or imperfections of line or construction which catch the eye."

Fairing is turning out to be a very long process.

Here is Simon Miles doing his magic.
