Hello yacht athletes and fans!

I looked at the mountain of photos that have accumulated in March and decided to describe the process in general terms.

Forgive me for the news at the moment are in Russian, then in English. I work hard to make everything comfortable and functional for you, but I must work on the boat as well.

All the photos that I managed to take, are on google+ Eduards Grigorjevs profile. Those who use google, and in my opinion, the useful application google+, will be easy to find all the photos and a lot of stuff.

No matter how cold and snowy it was lately, we keep going well.
March 18 and 19 turned out to make just a few pictures, because We were busy with the last measurement and calibration of deck-house to the central axis.


It was important for a few more items to fathom symmetry, angles, and radii.
After deck-house and side seats were fixed with putty and temporary wooden beams, we started putty corners and shaping the radius.



This is only half woes, still need everything to be sanded !

March 20, judging by the photos, we have started to model the side boards.
There are many ways, but we have chosen a rather economical and fast. Pressed foam is well bent and well glued with montage foam. In the photo you can see this pressed foam and clips.


Important!
 It is important to firmly stick the foam to the product (in this case we are talking about the sides tightly pressed with clips) because while drying  foam expands and output product can get the curve. It is better to check 100 times how well the pressed foam is processed rather 100 times sticking and tearing it of. 



I do recommend to wait a while before taking the clips off as depending on the temperature and the manufacturer (as it turned out), the foam has a different drying time, although at first glance it may seem that it froze but inside it`s liquid. I Recommend reading the instructions of the manufacturer.



March 21th, we continue to work with the pressed foam. It is Cold, we are hungry, keep going!

Then proceed on March 25th. Then we glued plywood using the same technology as the pressed foam - foam and clips.



Important! Check how tight and how symmetrical plywood sides, as the form and the product can be effected.

March 26th plaster dried up on the boat and we were working on drawers, lids and frameworks.




The main work, as you may have guessed, it's sanding and putty. That's what we did before the end of March. We also have discussed and resolved technical problems and other questions.

We have bought mahogany and saw this precious plaque on the right segments, and sanded after. We well come back to the wood work a bit later.


Still we have many questions on painting the mast boom and mast, as well as on the device and the bowsprit.

Finally, on March 30, we have applied the first layer of polyester spray filler on the details. About applying putty, see the following article.

Have a great evening!
