Boatbuilt

Im back from the Samui Regatta on Moonblue 2, the Warwick 64 of our mates Pete and Gabrielle Churchouse, where we won our Premier Division!  It was down to the last race, which we won by one minute.  Thrilling stuff, with great winds, great boat, great crew and the lovely folk of Thailand.  See more here.
Now finishing off the molds and then the already-made Web frames will then be added to the jig.  After that, its on with the inner stem, the keelson, and so on, before getting on with scarfing the planks, spiling and cutting them.

Heres Basil, our technical adviser, showing Noel and Arlene where the marks should go for the 14 mold. Nikki in background, looking on, but she doesnt understand boatbuilding as much as Basil the lab, a water dog.

Taken just now, full scale plans draped, Dali-like, on the couches and in the background outside, the jig with molds at the  8 and 12 stations. Weve now finished them all and will add the web frames before getting on to the inner stem, and keelson, after which the boards are made for the body of the boat.
