Deck finished prior to Xmas 2012:

Deck mould faired early Sept 2012 ...

And anti-stick applied (black paint & 8 layers of wax on curved surfaces, clever new film applied to flat surfaces), before laying on the Carbon.  September 2012.

By the end of Sept, first layer of carbon vacuum-bagged on ...

... and 20mm medium-density foam (green) and higher-density foam (yellow) fitted

 10th October: top layer of carbon now over foam, basic sandwich (carbon-foam-carbon) structure complete

Late October 2012: faired and undercoat applied. D-shaped forward hatch space, area on front for anchor locker (since decided not to have anchor locker, not enough space with retractable prod - whose diameter had to increase after final engineering was done)

Deck lifted from mould so that windows could be cut and weighing to be done.  Much happiness at being pretty much on target weight for deck at 213 kg
