Aqua Cat by Daniel Bucklin, Glenhaven, NSW, Australia

27 July 2009 Update

Picking up where we left off, I am happy to supply you with some updated construction photos of my Aqua Cat project. It has been quite a while between drinks (boat-building)and I have to admit that the project was put on hold for a couple of years while I was stricken with a terrible affliction called JOB.

Sadly I still suffer from this mallady but I am determined to finish her off and I have recommenced construction in earnest. Here we see a nice painted hull just before turning.

Here we see a group of friends gathered to assist me in flipping the hull over. I thought that many hands would make light work, and I was right.

We rested the hull on some soft stuff while a level resting place could be prepared. I really didn't want to scratch the paint that I spent so much time on.

Back under the covered shed she goes. I have arranged some railroad ties covered with carpet to support her for the rest of the construction process.
All perferctly level, of course.

A team photo. Did I mention that we served free beer?

Here we see the framing for the twin berth. Doesn't that look cozy?
