Fwd holding tank

08/11 -- Finished all the edge support for setting on the tank lid tomorrow. That will be the last time I can stand in the bottom of the tank. Of course, who'd want to after that. It's a black water tank. It has a double bottom so the bilge water can flow under it. The bilge is common from bow to stern.  --   9 yards of 18 oz roving cloth, 18 yards of 2 oz mat, and 4 gallons of resin.  Would have taken more if I had to build the sides.  They are the hull curve.
08/10 --- Completed the final lay-up of glass on the front and back wall. Cut and layed-up the lid on the work bench. It's a flat surface that I can cover with mold release. It should be hard enough to put in place tomorrow.
This week I'm working on completing the fwd bilge holding tank. This way I can fininsh the main salon floor supports and fasten down the cabin sole. Once the floor is fastened I can start with the cabin interior: galley, settees, dinette, nav station, aft berthing compartment

  1. I love seeing all of your progress! Sorry you have to work with all that fiberglass and resin, but it's looking great.
