Week 09 before launch - Assembling the floors & cutting out the first bulkheads


05.10.-11.10.15

Assembling the floors & cutting out the first bulkheads



After the last weeks of painting, sanding, painting, sanding it was really amazing to be back to woodworking.

We made good progress this week, finishing the floors and glueing them in. The floors are to connect both sides of the planking and as a sideeffect to stiffen the hull.

 
The floors nearly finished and ready to be glued



Moreover we even managed to cut some of the bulkheads.


The bulkheads are cut. 


The height of the companionway bulkhead and also of all the other bulkheads will be shaped to the correct measurements when the deckbeams and the cabinroofbeams are going to be fitted.


This berth is long enough but the madress ist terrible!


At the end of the week Eva was able to test the length of the berth although the quality of the "mattress" didn´t really please her.
