CATAMARAN BUILD – Is This Just As Good As the Moulded Bridge Deck? (MJ Sailing – Ep 182)

catamaran-build-is-this-just-as-good-as-the-moulded-bridge-deck-mj-sailing-ep-182

We spend three more days working to get it back to the one piece it was when it was originally moulded in Vietnam.

The underside of the hull went surprisingly easy, but then we had to deal with keeping the upswing even across both sides as we bond it together with our thickened vinyl ester.

All goes well though, and other than being a little messy, we have a bridge deck that is all one piece!
One project down, only a million more to go. 😉

We hope you enjoy!

Much love from Annapolis!
Jessica, Matt & Georgie
