Lot's being done. The new side decks have been finalized and the one side installed. Now when hiked out, the Derrière has some place to sit rather than that sharp shear. And the front of the addition should direct some of the water away from the cockpit. Maybe. Still haven't gotten that keel trunk in nor did we get the rig up. I have been very nervous locating the trunk form inside the boat. No good reference points due to the fillets. So, I finally went down under and did it all from the bottom. Now that I am comfortable with the location, I plan on getting it in this week yet. The sails are on their way to us so we need to get a move on. I really wanted to get the side deck issue resolved before tackled the rig and now that it has been, we need to get the stem fitting fabricated and installed so we can get the rig up. Unfortunately, we keep going back and forth on the sprit and may just do a deck mounted pole.
The boat we repaired should leave the end of the week. We really ended up putting a totaled boat back together and ended up with a lot more time in it than we all hoped. Client is happy still and that is what matters. This boat out of the way and we should be able to get more progress on the i550.
your raised side decks is a pretty cool idea and all that sheer rounding off becomes unecessary. İ liked it. Do they run along full cockpit length from cabin to transom ?
