Tiller done, cabin started


Tiller, with a clear coat brushed on, hanging out to dry.


Laying out the cabin outline on the deck.



Making the forms look good, just eyeballing the shapes, taking them apart and whittling them, and putting it back together until it looks good.


Another view.

I did just the starboard side, and I've now taken it off the boat and I'll partially disassemble it to make matching pieces for the port side. I'll mount the form to a sawhorse and mold the foam over it, so the foam can run long at the bottom and later be trimmed to accurately fit the deck.

  1. About the tiller. Looks great!
    How many layers of carbon did you use here?

  2. I posted the layup sched back on Dec. 30, but I'll add a drawing to make it more clear in the next day.
