Deck beams installed

 The deck beams are installed. The last of them was curing in the template for 2 days at home, it was a bit cold lately and I would not want to remove a bent lamination from the template halfway through a cold cure.


 




The additional beams, the ones not attached to the frames, as per design, get to rest on a single wimpy plywood gusset. If I had more time I would probably give them two, or maybe even a proper futtock to sit on. Not today, the actual design gets some authority for a change... I experimented with covering the fillets with strips of pe foil - this is how it turned out:

smooth, but still messy. Somehow it looks better in real life than on these pictures, and, after some cleanup (there is no way to avoid sanding I guess), should look better still when all done.




Here the inside view:

I do hope it will clean up well and look good in varnish. Soon. But first the cabin sides.
