Cockpit sides

Cockpit sides were finished.


The foam was first faired wherever necessary with fairing filler (İ love working with it) then glassed from above with a large fiber tape.




Then the foam structure was reinforced from below with a long, continous tape of carbon fiber. This was done in order to give the needed strength to the foam part which will probably be abused as soon as İ start sailing the boat. İ mean knees, feet, heavy asses of all sort etc... So İ wanted to make sure this delicate part will hold. İ guess Airex foam + fiber + carbon will do the trick



And then just for fun, although most panels still need heavy trimming, İ dry fitted all of them and sat on the cockpit to check it all out from above.
Getting somewhere. İ am happy !
