Main hull, starboard panel (1)

During the past week Cinzia finished the port panel spending one hour to fill the screw holes with resin and and the space between the butt blocks and the bottom stringers with epoxy putty. This space is due to the severe bevel angle of the bottom stringers (40 degrees) which leaves an empty V section space.

Today we worked five hours on the starboard panel. The procedure is identical to the other one, so here are two photos.

This shows the situation after a couple of hours of work this morning: all stringers glued.

In the afternoon we measured, cut and glued the butt blocks, the vertical stiffeners and the bulkhead landing stringers. We're particularly proud that the differences with respect to the other panel are all less than 3 mm (typically 1 mm).

Total work time to date: 89 hours
