Dolly and foredeck




I finally finished the dolly last night, it makes a big difference when you have the right tools. I highly recommend an oscillating spindle sander, it made the work so much easier. The pro-grip is in and it's ready for a finished boat...now where's the boat?

Last night I laid up the foredeck beam which will share the load from the mast gate/mast stump through to the bow of the boat. I got the foam core from Sam in Colorado who is doing a mega-moth build. He also sourced the honeycomb core for me. The beam just needs some cleaning up and install which will happen next week and then the foredeck will be laid up and I'll build out the whole foredeck area including the pass-through tube for the wand mechanism and then off to the rack assembly.
