    Several new photos from the build of the yacht Lion 870

    For reliable protection of the edges of the plywood from moisture penetration, the joints and grooves of the outer skin are sealed with epoxy resin with filler.

    Well, that's HALF the work/time and expense done with. The final fairing and painting, then the fittings await. It would be interesting to see if the time logging has been kept up, and the costs to date would be fascinating.

    Usually work on the construction of a yacht is conducted one day a week, today it is about 60 working days.

    To protect the edges of the plywood from moisture penetration, cracks are poured with epoxy resin with the addition of aerosil, for greater viscosity.
    For edge sealing, it is recommended to use epoxy resin, because the resin has a greater adhesion, in addition to filling the joint, the resin well impregnates the edge of the plywood.
    In order to prevent spreading of the resin, the seam is closed with a paint tape.

    Grinding of the outer skin of the hull, preparation for gluing with fiberglass.
    To eliminate all unevennesses on the yacht's hull, to ensure a good fit of the fiberglass, the body is sanded with sandpaper, using a hand grinder.

    The hull of the yacht is sufficiently treated with sandpaper number 80, this paper well level the surface and leave it rough enough, this is necessary for good adhesion of fiberglass.

    All the work on grinding and preparing the hull of the yacht for gluing with fiberglass took about 10 hours with 1 person working.

    Cant figure out why they bothered with twin boards, and a single rudder as well. They are too close together to give advantage while heeled,

    I'm very cautious about these designs, because the design with twin boards located in parallel is a complex design, it takes up a lot of useful space inside the yacht, and does not bring tangible benefits while driving with sails.

    Apparently, therefore, this design is not widely used.

    Actually, the biggest benefit of twin boards, (when they are placed much closer to each side than the Atalanta), is that the centre of the boat is much more spacious.

    It may not help with sailing, but the increased room inside is improved.

    The Atalanta boards seem to be very close to the centreline, so their board cases take up a lot of interior space.

    Forgive me the question, is it right for the hull to do that in the areas I have pointed out?
