Cabin Fever

If you remember, I originally drew a "blister" style coach roof; this had one degree of curvature (part of a cone) but probably, when it came to practice, too much curvature for the 6mm ply. Instead I have redrawn with a hard chine (already dubbed "stealth") coachroof. Not only is this easier to build but means we can use the offcuts of the cedar battens and plywood. Waste not want not! I am also convinced by the argument put forward by a local boat builder that it looks more in keeping with the hard-chine hull form.... Access under the coach roof; note the grey high build added before the coach roof structure.... thinking ahead for once!
At the moment just bogged in with glass fillets and already solid as a rock!! Frame spacings are based on our experience of the support required for the 6mm ply when building the deck.
