The bulkheads are coming along steadily, three of them complete and three to go. The first fiberglass tape has been laid today to support a plywood joint on a bulkhead. Pictures say a thousand words.
-
- Floor timer fixed to one of the bulkheads, the purple epoxy filling is visible. To be sanded and taped.
-
- The bulkhead with the cabin entrance is showing signs of independence. I do not have to hold its hand every time it is vertical.
-
- The cabin entrance bulkhead is made up of three separate plates. They are held in place by the crossbar seen on the picture. A fiberglass tape seam is on the other side.
-
- On this image you can see the epoxied glass tape over the joint of three plywood plates. Also, the support structures facing the bow are in place to strenghten the edges of the cabin.

- The bulkhead with the cabin entrance, support structures in place on the stern side.
-
- Midship bulkhead onto which the mast step will be fixed. The placement of the king plank can be seen as well. The cabin windows also grow out of this frame.
-
- In the last post you can read about laminating the arch seen on the picture. It will sit comfortably under the mast step.
-
- A small bulkhead right next to the stern, the epoxy is drying as I type.
-
- The small bulkhead dry fitted with bolts trough the keel.
