We got the frames water jet cut in Portsmouth. These were then screwed to our extremely sturdy and perfectly level eleven legged table - that got some funny looks in Ikea, I can tell you! Stringers were then fitted into recesses in the frame to form the shape of the hull!
We tapped up all of the frame with parcel tape - fingers crossed this will help release the boat from the frames when it is complete!
We next added core cell foam to the frame work which is very stiff until you heat it up. When it is warm, it is flexible and allows easy forming over the frames. This allows us to get a nice smooth shape that we can later bond the carbon fibre to!
Coming soon... Carbon Fibre photos and timelapse of the build so far!
