The kids room.

Here's a photo taken from inside the kids room which is located in the forward, port side cabin.  I have not finished the triangular floor section which will serve as a landing from which to enter and exit the  cabin.The beds will run cross ways with a walk way in between the two births  (Ok, it's not so much a walkway unless you're three) The plan is to create two "pipe" births using four carbon fiber poles and making it so that when not in use, they can be rolled up and fastened to the bulkheads.  This will open up the entire space to serve as one big romper room suitable for monstrous pillow fights.


When building out the interior, it is often necessary to fit flat panels to curved hull structures.  To do this, I have found it helpful to take measurements, write them down on scraps of foam and then head back down to the table saw to shape the panels as close as possible.  Once I get the pieces close, I use a power planer and hand sander to bevel the edges so that they all fit nicely. Then of course, I'll have to number all the pieces, take them apart laminate them with glass and epoxy and bond and reassemble them permanently in place.
