cabin mold between the hulls


I never thought a 60 ft. shop would seem small but I actually had to lift both hulls up a couple of feet so that I would have enough room to build the cabin mold. Scribing all the lines onto the mold forms using carbon paper and the full size templates is an exercise in patience. I was only able to build, scribe and cut two or three molds per day during the week but a full week end allowed me to set them all up on the strong back and lay down the stringers. Note: I had to resort to using double plywood strips in the high curvature areas. A strip of 5/15 in ply topped with a strip of 1/4 inch ply added up to be close enough to the same thickness as the 3/4 in stringers.
