Hull Interior

Hull Interior - 2007

The interior of the hull needed to be completed. I re-inforced all the hull sides with heavy ribs, that needed glassing of course. My nephew Jim gave we a hand and we completed the job in about 5 days of work...


Here you see the ribs glassed and the back plates for the chain plates. The ribs are glassed to 1/2 hull thickness.	The other side looks like this. We put the bolts in temperarily to allow us to glass over the interior plates.


Here are the backing plates glassed over. Over the backing plates are 3 layers of mat.	Here is the outside chain plate, all done!


The V-Berth. There was only room in there for one person and a skinny one at that, so needless to say Jimbo did the honors. The tubes you see are drains for the chain locker. If the chain comes in wet... the excess water should find its way into the tubes and into the bilge.	Here is the section of the galley just before the v-berth.


Here is Jim surveying his handi-work.	After Jim left, the lonely job of painting the interior hull was left to me. After 5 hours of painting I could taste the epoxy paint... Here is the head area complete.

Here is a peek-a-boo view of the painted V-berth.	Insulation competed in the Galley.


Insulation and Porthole roughed in the Galley.	Porthole roughed in and insulated in the head.


Insulation completed in the pantry. notice that the lower right side has no insulation. This is going to be a cold bin for vegetables, etc. It is below the water line, so in Alaska it will be quite cool.	V-Berth complete.
