Forward bunk flat...

The holding and water tanks are fitted before both sides of the forward bunk flat are glued.  The black flexible fresh water tank holds 15 gallons and is attached at all corners to pad eyes.  The pad eyes are made up of high strength Dyneemea braided line formed into loops that are fed through a hole in plywood disks.  The line is unbraided then sealed with epoxy.

The mounting bracket for the holding tank is on the left.

The large access hatch will allow room for final fitting of the tanks later.

The cockpit sole is being fitted here.  It slopes aft so water drains through the transom.  Because of this slope and the angle of the cockpit sides, the sole is tapered and will be installed by sliding it forward through the transom.

The area underneath the cockpit, the bunk fronts, and the head area have been painted white. The final finish inside the cabin will be a balance of semi-gloss white paint and varnish.  The idea is to avoid the dark appearance of an all-varnish finish.
