More fairing, cradles

Oddly enough, boatbuilding is slower in summer... anyway, two hours today during which we started the cradles for the amas and did some more fairing. First thing was the building of a fairing board, using some scrap 10 mm plywood and some leftover fir. It took 20 minutes to build it from scratch. Here it is

And here's a close up of one of the ama chines after fairing with 120 grit sandpaper.

Finally, we drew the two ama cradles starting from the bulkhead outline to which we added the thickness of butt blocks and hull panels, plus some mm allowance. We made two cardboard templates. We decided to make two separate cradles, both on wheels, in order to be able to use them on both amas (remember: the ama sections are asymmetrical).

Total work time to date: 152 hours
