The slits in the bottom panel are so the panel can be curved into shape in the jig. After its in place and tabbed to the other panels, you fill the slits and glass over it. A grinder disk on edge was used to make the slits.

Thats it for now, with luck we will be able to show the finished half shells by next week sometime.

Looks like you are doing the Kelsall KISS procedure. Seems like a great way to do a set of foam/fiber hulls fast!

Very interesting. I had never heard of the guy, yet he lives just 30 minutes up the road from my parents.

Kelsall is one of the big ones in larger multihull designs. Been at it for a long time!

A couple of pics of the first 2 hull halves done, no bulkheads yet, just the hull panels tabbed together in the jig. We are shooting to have all 4 boats finished/launched at the same time.

All the cores for the other 3 boats.

How are things going? What are the latest on buying the plans?

Hi,
are there any pics of a complete hull finished?
Looks like an interesting design.

Update:
Billy & Grahame now have 4 half shells done (1 boat) and perhaps 1/3rd of the panels laid up for the other 3 boats they are doing. There are 12 panels plus bulkheads per boat, so when you can only layup 4 at a time, it tends to slow things down a bit.
With luck, Billy will post a pic of them holding a couple of hull halves together, thats about as close as you'll get to a finished hull pic.
Gato, apart from the Class fee of $50, the plans are free.

Cheers

I like very much.
