Silence of the Laminates #8


Tee-ing up the hydroski. You can see from the previous post that the base of the keel also features a length of square-section timber joined to the foam panel in the same way as every other we've seen today. We don't want it separating prior to the adhesive setting, however, and so we'll fit only the trailing end of the ski itself. This is done with the same overhang as will appear top-deck, after which we can screw the laminated uPVC skirting-come-ski to the base of the keel.

We'll have a nice cup of tea over the football scores and fit the motors tomorrow, eh Gromit, for Rome wasn't built in a day?
