Some progress

It has been a bit quiet here on the blog lately. The reason is that the progress with the boat has been a bit slow. Things doesn't always go as you plan, not even as you hope or dream. 

Today I reached one milestone when the boat was lifted into the cold sea to check how she floats and if the waterline is on correct level.


After last post the deck has been installed.



As well as tubing for the cables.


In the picture below you see some storage space, in the front step and in the middle below the floor. And in the stern the space for the fuel tank.
 

Here I try to form the space at the stern.


This is how she looks today. Next in turn is to attach the back bench and build the control and navigator desks.



Today we lifted her into the right element to check how she floats and if the water line is on the correct level.


All the guys in the boat are simulating engine, fuel tank and control and navigator desks. As she was lifted to day we also checked her weight which was about 500 kg at this point.



I'm afraid there will again be a pause before there is something to tell you on this project, but as soon as I have something to show you I will update you.

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to you all readers.
