Rikki-tikki-tavi... Major Bulkheads

The cabinsides are on. That is quite a story too. They are each 22 feet long, scarfed plywood and 'glassed on the exterior as I like to do this while everything is horizontal, hence they are a bit heavy and floppy. My first mate and I moved them into position ourselves. She was maxed out and couldn't have handled any more weight. I would suggest three people do this task if you build this boat.

The amas are still unattached and you can just make out the starboard one behind the bow of the main hull.




	The major bulkheads are now in place. Again, we changed the shape of the walkthrough in the forward aka so we could have a real door (first mate's requirement). The head and shower area is actually forward of the vanity, past another bulkhead/doorway, so the vanity dressing area will stay dry. A holding tank will be in the forepeak - the space in the bottom of the photo - above which will be a deck locker. No cabin sides here yet. The wing structure attaches to the cabin sides, so side decks will come after the cabin sides. This also shows the reverse shear bow flares. The bow looks very narrow, doesn't it? The first mate says she can't see herself going forward in crashing seas, so roller furling is a must for her.
