Scarab 18 folding trimaran Part 10

The ring frame was taped to the main hull, inside and out. The floor was cut to fit and all the lockers cut out. All the foam was dug out onthe edges of the lockers and filled with bog. The centreboard case was taped in.















I painted under the floor (inside the lockers) because it is hard to paint in these areas after the floor is installed.
















The temporary frame for the cabin top was built and the cabin sides attached. The sides were only temporarily attached because the cabin topwill be removed to finish inside.













Total time 356 hours
