Boarding steps ready to finish
Rear Beam in place
Lots of "Other Parts"


Rear Beam

The rear beam, the same as the mast bulkhead, was constructed on the shed floor - or on the bench and lifted in, it dropped beautifully into place, ah the joys of computer cut routing, only the top and the aft face was built on shed floor - upside down of course and the upper rear uniglass applied.

The forward face, with built in long seat was added after the lower uniglass web added.

Tanks

All the tanks are "built in", that is we use the hull as two sides. We have 4 tanks in each hull, fresh water, grey waste, black waste and fuel, several coats of resin have been applied to the inside of the tanks, about 5 on the fuel tanks I think. Pumps are installed below the floor, as close as possible to the tanks

Soles

Are pre-cut by ATL, just a matter of gluing them together, cutting them out and glassing them into place - heaps of hatches to cut first of course, never ends this eh.

Boarding Steps

The boat has "walk though transoms" nice touch I think better than climbing over things, it does make the accomodation a bit smaller but hell we have a 17.5m catamaran here, so should not be short of too much space. The drains on the last boat on both the engine hatches and on the hatch that gave access to below the steps were woefully inadequate, not this time, constructed completely different and heaps deeper I cannot seen any water finding its way down below - but you never know - time will tell.
