    Hi Ray, I usually put under the mast bulkhead or use the pillers because other methods usually take up more space inside the boat and less reliable.

    Great to see.

    It is very informative on what is involved in building a boat of this size.

    Did you epoxy the hull panels before mounting them ?

    All the shell plates of the hull will be covered with epoxy after installation, when the hull is fully assembled and glued.

    Hi Ray since the start of construction a little more than 11 months, laying the pile was held on 3 June 2016, work is being done on weekends only. During this time, great progress is noticeable. )))

    Looking good. How much fibreglass is recommended on the outer hull ?

    I think it will be enough to put 2-3 layers of fiberglass, then the irregularities of the hull will be aligned with putty and painted.
