I've been busy hunting parts, bits and pieces but finally got around to finishing the rough in on forward wrap on the 31 Bahia look-a-like project. Cheated a little on the accuracy of the shape. I added a 3" arc that followed the lines of the deck. I always lust after all the shops I "notice" in the project boat pictures, but at least my shop is bigger! It's motivating when you can start to see your future boat.

Scott,
It takes time...but, It'll be worth it in the long run. My best friend, Eddie, Has his B 26 twin ob at my house having the finishing touches done by one of the local boat riggers...we'll all get there sooner or later. Keep up the good work.
The panels are 1/8" FRP. I have not reinforced the side panels as yet. The bow section is 1/4 plywood, saturated with epoxy and the FRP is bonded to it with epoxy as well. I mixed off ratio for the bow laminate to stiffen the assembly. It's only 3/8" thick but it's like pounding on concrete. I'm very pleased with the strength. It is tied in with cloth/epoxy at the deck. It is also reinforced linearly with plywood panels that will become machinery space for electric, baby AC, etc.
