Making the center case

The center case is the hole where the centerboard and keel go through. Firstly the measurements were taken off auto cad and then lofted onto a bit of cardboard. Off the lofting we then made a jig where the db would be rap'd around after saturated with resin. The db sheets were cut so that it just covered one side of the jig at a time. after the layers of db are on we then lay'd peel-ply over it and left to dry..

After the center case is hard its time to cut the angle out on the girder and 
cut out the hull for the center case. 


after making on the jig what height it needs to be at, we got it to the right height then wedged it in so it couldn't move.


Chris used the rubber rise epoxy to cove around the center case then glassed in the flanges right around the center case.
