Hull Complete

Published on

With the end of February 2016 fast approaching saw the hull finally cut and laminated, given a quick coat of filler to seal the MDF and remove the indentations made during the laminating process.  Also the fixing points were added prior to the two halves being glued together, and finally packed ready for shipping to Orkney.

See images below for this process.
