Over the weekend I finished the double floor. It’s a sandwich with buoyancy foam filling and a glossy glass finish for maximum durability and just long enough to fit a skipper. This took around 15-20h over two weekends. Fiberglassing large surfaces is really almost a meditation exercise. You just keep combing the epoxy and try to fight against the voids.
Next steps are to build the aft shelves in preparation for the lowest plank. Also some data: our LOD is 463 cm (63 cm over design due to the choice of a sharp bow over a flat one), the beam is 190cm.
