Initially I was trying to fit a build into my garage but the wife put the mockers on that (can't imagine why???) and I have organised some space up at the marina but I will need a temporary shelter and so want to reduce the time needed up there to a minimum.
To that end, I want to prebuild as much as possible in my garage, sort of like a GA kit and also incorporate a few ideas. Some of which is similiar to jadranko's idea on the FAQ thread.
I want to prebuild bulkheads, - Forward outboard well, rear of pilothouse, front of pilothouse, rear of cuddy (I want a small area between for a head and hanging cupboard) and forward of cuddy. I figure that at each point where I want these, it should be possible to calculate dimensions (unless Brian could sort me some out if given the distances).
These bulkheads I would build to sheer height and in halves with appropriate notches for stringers and sheer shelves and steps for the chine flats. I would also have made ready some ply webs to connect them at the build site. The connecting webs would be fitted so there was a space enough between them and the join in the hull bottom panels, allowing me to run continous glass once I flipped the hull.
Once on site, I would set up the transom, bulkheads, bowstem. Make up the bottom panels and fit them, trim if necessary. Fit the chine flats. Fit the side frames then hang the sides. Fair and glass. Flip her over and glass the insides, extend the bulkheads where necessary. crack on.
