CATAMARAN BUILD - The Backbone of our Water Tanks (MJ Sailing Ep 204)

This week we step back in time and cover a few projects we did between getting the soles down – including adding the forward webbing to our bridge deck, which will eventually become our water tanks.

One of the main things, was glassing down the forward webbing on the bridge deck. Part of it is just for support, but the larger compartments, between bulkheads 4&5, will eventually be the spaces for our windlass/anchor chain, as well as our two water tanks (as far as we’re planning right now).

We also have it confirmed that a new shipment of vinyl ester resin is on its way, so we get busy working on another project which requires it, which is bonding the inner seam of where the hull sides were attached in July.

We hope you enjoy!

Much love from Annapolis!
Jessica, Matt & Georgie
