Br-East6 design finally emerges.

Up until today our mould was resembling another design very strongly. Today the corners came off the stations/frames and there is not longer a chine line on our mould (sharp corners on the bottom corners of the hull are chines, chine lines can also be further up the sides of the hull such as our Cherub seen in the background of the below photos) and she's officially our design --the
 Br-East6!!!!!!!!! She's longer, narrower, and has more rocker than the cousin she now only vaguely resembles underneath.

 No corners here

 

or here

 

 Stringers going on, still a few more to put in place.

  Next step after screwing on the last few stringers will be to start cutting and screwing the foam core onto the mould. Once that is in place on the mould we will need to fair it (bog it up and smooth all the lumps and hollows) and then on goes the fibreglass.

We will hopefully start the on the foam placement/cutting early next week. We're not sure how long that will take but I'm thinking we should have the foam in place and be ready to glass in a couple of weeks and maybe glassed and faired by the end of the month ish?

No rush, we want 'Choozys' to be absolutely as good as it can be, no corners cut to get her in the water sooner. We could use vinyl ester instead of epoxy and that would save us around about $1000 but she wouldn't be as user friendly to put fittings onto the hull and if the brown stuff hit the fan the re-sale would not be as good -- so it's only the best or best realistically for this size and type of boat.
