(us) Logbook · Chapter 6 · The Hull Becomes a Reality
On Tuesday, September 29th, the hull of the OLBAP CATAMARANES TR12 Marín(us) finally came out of the mould.
After the laminating, vacuum infusion, consolidation and curing process, we can now really start to see the boat we are building.
Marín(us) has a body! The three hulls reveal the distinctive configuration, while the double bottoms have been completed and filled with foam, creating additional buoyancy reserves. The fuel tanks, hoses and integrated components have also been installed, ready for the next stage: joining the hull and deck. On deck, the rod holders have been installed in the gunwale, preparing the for its future boat configuration.
From October 1st, we move into a new phase: installing the interior bulkheads and preparing the structures that will join and reinforce the whole boat.
The helm cabin is already finished and will be installed once the hull and deck assembly is complete.
Until now, we have talked about design, materials and construction. Now we can finally start to recognize the boat
The hull is finished. The structure is coming together and Marín(us) is becoming real .
