The winter blues have taken hold even before winter officially begins. All the epoxy and tabbing work for the main bulkheads as well as all of the other base epoxy work has been completed before the arrival of cold weather. Even though we have added 3 layers of 1708 Biax tabbing over major bulkheads the work doesn't show progress to others that come to see. So over the last long weekend I was able to build & moch up some parts so they are ready for warmer weather tabbing.
Got the bobstay backing plate almost totally set up. A 1x1/4" stainless backing plate goes over the top.

The forward main bulkhead that the sampson posts bolt to is ready to tab.


Settee Backs are ready to be tabbed in.


I've also been able to install (no picture) the seat for the water tanks that goes in the bilge.
And finally last evening got the sink bulkhead ready for tabbing except I'm going to shave about 1" off the front for better set back.

It's nice to have other, who don't know, finally see some progress in the way of interior construction. We coming upon our 1 year anniversary of being out of the water, January 4th and I think all in all things are going quite well. Work on the boat officially started in March of 08 after the cold weather. Lot's more to go and even more questions to ask in the upcoming months.
Thanks again to all who have offered your advice!
