Scarab 18 folding trimaran Part 5
Christmas and New Year are over. It was wonderful to have a rest and recharge the batteries. But hard to go back to work, even though I love what I am doing.
This week the main-hull was taped inside.
The second float was removed from the frame and turned over. It was taped inside. The floats were levelled and the bulkheads were trimmed to fit.
Two main beams (that hold the folding beams) were built using foam and layers of glass and resin.
The holes for the folding system were drilled before attaching the main beams in the main-hull.
Total time 198 hours
