End of day 5!!
got a lot done today... but im probably not going to have time to do any fairing of my time schedule is to hold even little... uncovered the lamination and it turned out better than expected with the 4 thou sheating...
embarked on the mammoth task of cutting all the pieces than make up the rub rail lamination.... then as one could expect i got sidetracked for a few hours.... decided to install strakes and a reverse chine instead of the spray rail... just looks better imho..
i decided against letting the reverse chine extent all the way back as i confabulated an unfounded theory that as it narrows towards the stern it introduces a degree of hook... Jacques ?? anyway, the strakes are placed 10 inches from the CL as are the stringers inside the boat... the reverse chine tapers off behind the widest point so it is in effect parallell to the strakes..
it will be more apparent what im rambling about once the PE comes off tomorrow
I got a good deal on the clamps, about 1.30 a piece for some quality clamps so i went for 40....
some rough fairing tomorrow and a flip... 1 day behind schedule....

late noon day 7....
some progress today..
i decided to sharpen the chines and transom ad modum "Cracker Larry" and get the shape close on the bottom before the flip...i won't fair the outside before its all glued up on the inside and properly cured... anyway, here are some pics... and hopefully some explanation on what i possibly meant with my ramblings on the "tapering chines"
it should also be apparent how little sanding it takes when the hull is covered in LD-PE sheeting (dont remove in direct sunlight)

in all fairness
it might be day 6 but i have been putting in a least 10 hours of solid work for the last 6 days.. and the epoxy has almost all been laid wet in wet... thats 60+ hours and counting and i dont have to clean up every time... this devided into 3-5 hour work weekends and evenings, puts me at what equates to week 10MarkOrge wrote:Wow nice - I have been working on my Phantom for 3 years....

Can you slow down a little bit, please. We cannot read so fast
