Cabin sides...

The cabin sides are made up from a full-length strake on the outside and a shorter doubler layer inside providing additional rigidity in way of the cabin windows and chainplates.


Dry fitting of the doubler on the inside with window cutouts and a portion of the full-length strake on the outside.  After these parts are glued in, a reinforcing ring will be glued on the inside and the outside will be routed out to receive the flat, laminated safety glass windows.






The full-length outside cabin side strakes are glued together and are being reinforced with glass cloth.  Doubler with window cutouts can be seen on the left.  Full-length strakes and doubler will be glued to the boat at the same time.

 

Joe helps with the glueing.  West System 206 hardener was used for additional time for the assembly.
