As if there wasn't enough going on down here on the Hulls, this week we begin a Massive new Project, a 4.5 x 4.5 meter Catamaran Hard Top Roof for our New Build 12.7 meter Catamaran. The grunt work begins today and Janet and I have some serious work ahead ...
Life in a crawl space operating very dangerous power tools between your legs is apparently what boat building is all about. Cutting away at the bulkheads to match the New Deck is perhaps the most painstaking process to date.
Following that harrowing exper...
After a couple of days off following the Epic demoulding and Deck Placement day I headed into work with the full intention to take it easy. How wrong I was. Immediately thrust into a plethora of jobs that need to be tackled just to move forward. Check out ...

Logistics are plenty at this point and squaring everything away before we put her lid on is the order of the day.

Are you ready to make a change when required, if not , boat building may not be for you. This 12.7 mtr Catamaran Build is really taking shape. Now that I know a little bit more about the function of this Catamaran's system, I am forced to modify a major st...
I find myself in some bizarre positions as I complete certain sections and this week I find myself Jammed in the forepeak completing the main structure of the crash bulkhead and the bow structure is now complete awaiting the position of the deck part that ...
Even small jobs can take an absolute age. The thinking and finally the doing are two very intertwined things and when things don't go as planned in can really make or break your day - That is just boat building.

Getting the Catamaran Deck Flange back to the mould edge to determine the separating line is critical before demoulding. This week I grind the excess laminate and start to think about demoulding mounts to lift the deck out of the mould.

Sharing the fun with someone else is always better than slaving away on your own, and this week my great buddy Jeff finally makes an appearance and gets down and sticky on the cockpit roof and Foredeck hatches. Offering not one , but 2 days of work to help...

A blow to our family holiday plans leaves me with the chance to get a whole lot more boat work done and this week is no exception. Hoards of laminating sees the cockpit mouldings stiff and relatively thin due to the use of Soric Core Mat. Our Sailing Holid...
The purpose of the PVC Foam Core in this Catamaran Build aside, the shaping has been a real challenge to ensure I get a consistent lightweight structural result. This week I set about Hand Shaping a Catamaran Deck Core and you may ask the question "Why Str...
Plagued by shortages in supply I have to think outside the box to make sure I get this Catamaran Deck Build. The Dilemma , " No Foam Core " available anywhere and it has the potential to hold me back for months if not longer.

The days seem to run into each other and the constant laminating is becoming a bit of an arduous task as I consider detail and strive to obtain the perfect void free laminate. Although not rocket science, the devil really is in the detail and as the layers...
Shortages in material supply and resin spray gun issues proves that outside influences can ultimately effect a massive project like this , but alas, I have a couple of aces up my sleeve to solve both and forge ahead with the deck build. Getting close no an...
