Center case

The center case sits pretty much in the center of the boat and is where the centerboard and keel go through. This gives the boat lateral resistance.

Firstly a wooden jig was made and was wrapped with several layers of fiber glass. I then cut a hole in the hull where the center case would go. We then attached the center case to the hull by finding the correct height and keeping it level. Then it was then coved and glassed. We attached it to the deck when the boat was flipped over.

When glassing the to the center case jig we doubled the strips of glass and staggered them by 20mm to make it stronger and not leave to much of an over lap.

The girder needed to be cut back on the correct angle so the center case can fit in.
