centerboard support webs


Here are the six support webs that will make up the structure that will transfer the loads from the  centerboard cases to the internal sides of the boat.  I have found it easier to first cut and lightly bond the glass over the foam using 3M-77 spray adhesive then simply roll on a good thickness of epoxy over each piece and vac bag them in the usual manner.  After performing hundreds of vac bag proceedures, it's possible to get a feel for how much resin each piecs will absorb.  If you over apply, it won't hurt your part, it will just hurt your wallet.

impressive progress, bro. you've got some real expertise as a result of all this work. it was great to be up there last week measuring the cabin for furniture - it's a fine testament to the monumental task you've undertaken and shepherded this far along. well done. keep it up.
