Katie is a carvel built folkboat, and is undergoing a complete cabin and deck refit. She was the first vessel I worked on after graduating joinery. I had the pleasure of working alongside a very talented colleague, Becci Haigh. Unfortunately I was so into the work that I went through a phase of failing to take a proper photographic record.
We laminated new marine ply onto the original bulkheads, using spiling techniques to obtain the correct shapes and west system epoxy to bond into place.
We installed new beam shelves onto the cabin sides, and cut the rolling bevel that is required for the curved coachroof to fit. We made corner posts and door surrounds, and made up patterns and laminated beams for the coachroof. All in sapele. As mentioned in the previous post I then began fitting the deckbeams.
As you can see in the pictures, you can never have too many clamps..
