Day 3 - The Hull

Cutting out the hull planks was exactly the same process as cutting out the bulkheads; straight from the printed templates.

Of course the plywood sheets are not as long as the planks and needed joining together.

We joined the planks by using +-45 450 e-glass on both sides of the join (we routed 1/2mm and used peel-ply on the outside of the planks for neatness but is not necessary. We didn't scarf reasoning that a good butt joint will be stronger that the plywood; not to mention a good deal easier to achieve!
