Preparations for deck lamination

I have put in several high density inserts now, and I can't think of any more needed on the deck. Or maybe one for the pop top hatch lock? It looks like this now:


I also did the cut out for the pop top, and started fitting the coaming.


This will make the rest of the internal work much more pleasant.


I am making a flush fitting on the front bunk storage hatch, much to test the technique. First, the necessary cut out was made using a router.


Then I epoxied in wooden dowels for the screws. These were then cut flush and I used a forsenker to match the shape of the fitting.


A layer of carbon to cover the wood and exposed foam


And then a vacuum treatment. Looking forward to see the result.

Supports for the anchor well hatch being glued in. A rope recess is made in the forward edge.


Recesses made for the hinges seen along the left side of the hatch
