Building of the hull shell started in mid-November 2012

Final layers of wax so the carbon won't stick ... then on goes the black shiny stuff ...

Port rudder location

Late November 2012.  First layer of carbon on, then fitting of foam core material

 

As on the deck, higher-density foam for high-load / slamming areas.  Slot is the daggerboard location

Foam glued and sealed with epoxy, being vacuum-bagged into place

Then surface re-faired

9th December 2012: foam and fairing pretty much done

 ... with nice attention to detail, great workmanship.

Then the outer skin of carbon went on

Fairing the hull before undercoat

Undercoat after yet more sanding and fairing ...

Fairing and undercoat finished just before Xmas 2012

 Lifted off mould, preparing for hull weighting and turnover, January 2013

 Hull turned over 16 January 2013.  Weight 387 kg (incl. fairing and paint).
