Polystyrene Sandwich Material Glued In

Once again the income generating part of the Gleda Project is demanding the greater part of my time hence the lack of update yesterday. I squeezed in a couple of hours today though and got the final upper layers of ply glued to the side decks of the starboard hull. I also took off the tumblehomes ready to  re-cut and re-fit. Workload and a long weekend trip to Falmouth mean that it’ll be next week before I do any more building now but a visit to Falmouth is always a great boost as it’s without doubt one of the finest harbours in the world and I shall be looking for lots of bluewater cruisers to photograph. It’s also the place highest on the list of possible launch locations so I’ll be keeping a weather eye out for prospective sites as well!

Getting There

Beam Trough Will Be Cut Out Later

My last work session before our 10 day break to Portugal I’ve completed stage 3 and got the final sheet of ply glued into my first main cabin deck section so when I get back I’ll have a completed section ready to try. I’ll be using the down time over the next few weeks to get my head together a little and start some serious planning with time lines so that I stay on track for the May 2012 launch. I’ll post stuff when I can (internet access permitting). See you in a few weeks!

No more updates till next week folks, off on a road trip to Edinburgh. Long haul in the Landy!
