Diary on the construction of a Seaclipper 20, a plywood trimaran designed by Jim Brown and John Marples. Our boat's Sail No. is 50. The boat has been named GEODETICA and was launched on september 28th, 2024.
Two hours of work today to attach the false transom to the hinges. It took quite some time to do the work with the required precision, but at the end we succeeded.
Next step will be attaching the pintles to the false transom and the gudgeons to the rudder blade.
Total work time to date: 749 hours
We started the installation of the false transom. It is a 18 mm thick triangular piece of plywood hinged on the real transom, to allow for an (hopefull) easy lift of the rudder. Today we installed the s.s. hinges on the real transom, visible in the photo below. When everything will be properly aligned, we will coat the holes with epoxy and then silicon sealant.
Total work time to date:747 hours
