Five hours today. First we cut the specified 10 cm holes in the bulkheads with a cup saw. I'm not sure of what these holes are for: I think they're there to allow some air circulation. We then fitted the butt blocks to the bottom taking care to cut some bevel on the sides to avoid water pools inside. The blocks were glued over the bottom panels butts with the usual microfiber thickened resin. In the picture you can see the blocks in place with one plank each acting as a weight.
We then gave a double coat of unthickened resin to the bottom, the bulkhead faces and the butt blocks. Here's another pic showing one of the butt blocks
Total work time to date: 165 hours
