The beams are similar to The Scarab 18
only smaller. The beams are attached to the beam support which anchored in the
main hull. The beam support pictured is the Scarab 18.
I made a plug for the beam. The plug
was painted and waxed several times to allow the mould to separate easily from
the plug.
Then a mould was made using tooling
gel. Most of our boats have female moulds made from plywood or form ply. But I
always have my eye on the next boat and tooling gel is very tough. It will last
through several boats.
