October 2005,  22 hours.

Activities:

• Final finished hull bottom
• Made cradle
• Flipped hull right side up
• Taped all inside hull joints + added carbon fiber on cabin floor
• Started installing bulkheads

It was very easy to flip the hull shell. One guy at the bow and one guy at the transom is all that was required.

Getting rid of the vacuum table. I will not need it anymore and I need the room!:

Taping the inside joints. Much quicker then the floats. It was tricky to wet the carbon floor without stepping in the glue! I did everything in a single day.

Detail of the bow joint. A special technique is needed to make a clean joint in there...

Same old story: parts dont fit the first time... However, little work is required to make it all right, no sweat!

Positioning the bulkheads. I am using the laser level to mark the bunk and cockpit "waterlines".

At first I was scared to walk inside the hull shell, but it turned out to be very stiff. It is also very light, about 150 lbs.

I am starting to see the end of the project... I should launch the Scarab next spring.
