Hurricane Status Update

Dropped by the Museum for a long overdo check on the Hurricane IV project. The work continues on. The hull frame is getting closer to being finished. Still lots of little details to take care of. The frames still need to be sealed up and finished before the deck covering can start. Decking materials have been ordered.

At the transom 

An overview of where the project is at. 

Punch List

Roger's punch list included

• Scraping extra glue from frames
• Triming back over length bolts
• Reattaching the half-rounds

A look between the frames.

Roger tells me that the boat could be turned over as soon as this Thursday.

Work continues on.

I have been missing in action the last few weeks, with an Achilles tendon that ruptured, an activity I can not recommend. The boys have been busy skinning the bottom, Laminating pieces for the nose and working on construction of the right sponson. Here are a few quick pictures I grabbed. Sorry for the less than perfect photos, I am still on crutches...

A quick visit.

I made a quick visit to document the state of the beast. Summer can be so busy, and how quickly it turns into fall. I arrived to late to be of much good. Time and materials march on.

Putting on the shear. 

Looking forward from transom. 

A look aft. 

Gale working on the Bud's sponson. I guess it was slightly compromised at it's outing in the Tricities.
