This is right, working one day in the hull is an excellent work out.Knottybuoyz wrote:I get the feeling these things will "double" in size once you flip them. Not only do you have to climb up on it, you'll have to climb down into it and then the same to get back out!!! That's going to be fun!
Glassing of portside and keel is finished. Starboad requires one more layer. Glassing the keel was really a pain. Difficult to judge from the picture, but at the end the width is less than 4" and the keel is deeper than 24". Not easy. The next boat should be much larger, so we can stand in the keel when glassing it...

Wow Peter,
That looks like a pretty good job, very well and clean work. I see you putted the rubrails already on the hull, when is it was upside down. I still wondering if i can do that on my fl26, because the topside is not completely fair with the deck. How was that on your boat?
best regards,
jaap

I am not sure that I understand the question. We did not yet add rubrails to the side. What you see is could be the 'bullwark' which is epoxied before glassing.
We laminated a 'rubrail' to the transom, but this will be used to attach the swimming platform.

Nice work, I spotted your new pictures earlier. I see you've got help. That'll make the work go faster! What did you use for the peel ply?
Yours Aye! Rick

Rick,
We use the cheaper version of real thing (PeeltexEco) , but I think it is really worth the money for a build of this size.
We build the Luka with two, with sometimes help of a third person. Three is ideal for the big hull lamination works (more would creat a space problem). I know there is little visible progress, but we do not stop and are looking forward to the finished hull very shortly.

Finally glassing of the hull is finished, a lot of work without much visible progress.
We laminated the stringers and most of the frames, at least one notices some progress after each day of work.
We totalled 1008 hour of work, about halfway I guess.
