Engine box 

Now you can see the whole arrangement around the engine box

I started to make hinges on ruder case, first i glued on the styrodur,

around the plastic pipe i laminated a strip of fibre ( 7 cm wide), i laid on more fibres that will fix  the ring on plastic pipe to the rudder case,

and here is the video

Today i assembled the front mast, it consists out of two pols, they have A shape, and the crab claw will hang in between. I did a model out of styrodur (i had to get the angel)for a bracket that will be placed on the front cabin.

Bracket

Today on 22th of April i made hinges for rudders, and yesterday i did spars for crab claw sail. They are 8 m long and glued from two pices of wood 40 X 30 mm, and 4 m long.

 Again i used styrodur as a model.

 I got a new helper

Many things had happened from my last report, I finished the rudders except painting, on Thursday I finished one engine pod, the videos are below. I also painted the laminated floor of the cabin pod, and on Sunday 8th of April finished the last pole - mast ( A mast). Lamination of one more box is waiting on me, that means one more day.

Sanding the edges of the box,

wetting out fibers on the table, putting them on the styrodur,

additional wetting out fibers, the tricky part was turning of the box but we laid the plastic and a strap and some clamps and we did it with no problem unfortunately i have no pictures of that operation.

thanks to the epoxy, we had enough time, the whole process of lamination lasted for about 5 hours by the environmental temperature of about 18⁰C.

In the end we put everything under pressure.
