Hello guys!
Here comes the
saved-up material,
On March 15th we
managed to borrow the steering machine for a while from our old companion,
friend and fiber glass specialist - Egdar. The machine was really useful for
us, because after long trying and thoughts it was necessary to change a design
of the back kit locker, otherwise the installation of the conducting mechanism
by a rudder blade would be impossible.
Then there
appeared a problem - a cable of the steering machine was quite long, as well as
a poker, and also it was impossible to bend a cable strongly.
We made the last
completions on the deck - puttied it once again several times, polished the
WELL designed for automatic bilge pump and also processed the cover model for it.
The model of the
cover (on the photo) pasted to thin plywood in order that the form had a
flange, respectively the product too. On the finished product this flange is being cut off, and the product has equal sides.
Important!
Practically each product has semicircular sides and corners with an angle more
than 90 degrees in relation to the deck, and they also have radius. Later on I
will explain it in the video.
1) The opposite
radius (more than 90 degrees in relation to the deck) is set in order that the
form that is glued on top of the model, could be taken off easily without
damaging the form and the model.
2) Bends make a
design more durable, respectively it`s possible to spend less material and not
to resort to additional designs.
3) It makes the
yacht more aesthetic, etc.
On the deck was
made the marking of seats, and we needed just to fasten wooden beam to which
fastens the bottom part of our seats. It was important to set the radius of the
seat to the beam, because when using putty on plywood, plywood may deform if
the prepared beam and ply are not fixed strongly enough.
The remained day
we puttied and polished seats and deck-house.
We have put the
deck, seats and deck-house into the place, tried it on about 30 times again and again, and then fixed with
putty and wooden beams.
