One milestone reached

Hi and sorry for being quiet for a while. 

This week we reached one major milestone when we got the hull turned in right position for a boat.


The laminating of the hull has taken longer than originally planned.


First layer of epoxy paint applied on the bottom to make it easier to get the final smoothness of the bottom. 



Here we have continued the sanding of the bottom and now it is ready for another epoxy paint layer. That will be applied later when I'm able to paint all the needed layers including the bioside-free antifouling paint from SeaBoost


Then it was time for the big moment and turn the hull for the first time. Everything went well with some extra hands.



From here we will continue with the inside.


More images of that later.

Last week there was very positive news when the Barchetta 26 was nominated Motor boat of the year at the Helsinki boat show Vene 17 Båt. This proves that wooden boats are appreciated.

  1. Vau fin. Blir det något synligt av skrovet från insidan eller täcks den helt? Spanterna och den mörka faneren ger fin kontrast
