Add another layer of peel ply

Breather layer added, plastic sheet over the top, vacuum lines inserted (one either end), all edges sealed.

Vacuum turned on and and then you wait till its cured.

Will post more as the job progresses.

Another Update:

Roughly speaking, it has taken 1 day to cut the foam templates, cut the foam cores and join them and get 4 panels laid up (3 people). It took another 2 nights of 2-3 hours for 2 people to lay up another 4 panels per night. To separate and trim the panels took 2 people 1 day and get them ready to be tabbed in the jig. In total it took 4.6 sheets of foam to do all twelve hull panels for 2 hulls.

First pic is adding the cleats to the frames, these are hard wood so we can staple the hull panels in place. Do not staple into the MDF frames as after 2-3 boats the frames will start to fall apart.

Dry Fitting the panels....note the slits in the bottom panel....more on this later

Dry Fitting the bow

Be sure to tape the frames before you create a bog cove for the panel tapes, makes sure it comes out of the jig.
