 Making bunk supports, cutting bow access hatch, and divider for the cargo compartment


Spent the day making templates and cutting out the supports for the bunks, and also a divider for the "cargo" area, in front of the mast bulkhead, decided to make a longitudinal divide as it then creates a strong backbone that ties the front crash flotation bulkhead and the mast compression post and bulkhead together. It also makes a divider so that stuff does not go sliding side to side depending on which  tack you are on, it is also at the same level as the 2 main bunks, and the port or starboard side will possibly get a top, maybe both will?

 Also cut the front collision flotation bulkhead access hatch, you can see the hatch cutouts leaning against the mast bulkhead, these will be made into sealing watertight hatches, later.

 Bunk risers glued and filleted

BTW the bits of wood on the keel bearers are to keep the bunk risers equidistant







added pics  after glue has cured without some of the bits of wood that helped to temporarily locate the bunk risers





 And the mast is up it all went smoothly. and there us a video to see as well
