Looks like a catamaran !


More efforts were put into the boat.

The shape of a Gypsy catamaran is already here!


Now the cosmetics.



I bought a piece of thick polycarbide plastic for the windows. First to install were the side windows of the cuddy

  

A template of the opening was made using a piece of cardboard. This was then traced onto the polycarbide. Using a jigsaw the exact shape was cut.


It is then screwed on to the frame. Later a wooden frame will be added to "look nice"





The Starboard Hull

In catamaran building we have to repeat the exercise twice as we have two hulls which are identical.




However when working on the second set the work is usually speedier and better as valuable lessons had been acquired earlier!

It is hot so to get a little bit of shade I built a temporary sun shade using cheap garden cloth.
