		<title>Forward Buoyancy Chambers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	
	
Today I decided to complete the voids under the sail locker floor, principally to take advantage of the better access prior to fitting the top bow chamfer panels and refitting the head bulkheads.

	

	
I have marked out a template of the sail locker floor panel and made void internal taping &#8217;shelves&#8217;, here shown fitted under tension [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bridge deck leading edge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	
	
This afternoon I completed with help from my son the kerfing of the bridge deck leading edge. We also prepared, that is sanded edges and Z join glue excess, on  the top bow chamfer panels inboard of each bow. Then whilst my assistant started the tedious task of clearing the debris from each kerf, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Controlled Vacuum Infusion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	
	
CVI is when one models the flow and carries out vacuum infusion job.
The big advantage for me is the non-contact nature of adding the epoxy.
This first one was modeled by Henny van Oortmarssen, he seems to do even large projects with ease, and he is willing to provide a lot of information. My first venture [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tropical Cyclone Helen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	The first cyclone for our 2007/2008 season was a perfect one - formed quickly, tracked as predicted, intensity (Category 2) as predicted, passed during the low of a neap tide, scary enough to get the adrenalin pumping for about 1 hour but no more. Tom decided not to lower the tarp because of the risk [...]]]></description>

		<title>Carbon Mast - Update 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	
	
Yes, the masts were constructed, however although the basic spars met the engineering requirements we have decided not to acquire these spars for our rig from Harryproa and will make alternative arrangements.
	At the rate we are progressing the project, we have plenty of time.
	Suffice to say we are not changing anything regarding the design at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beetles and Epoxy (Sub Locker Bulkhead)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	
	
Yesterday I sanded and prepared, marked the positions, glued the sub locker bulkhead and then cleaned down the surrounds with acetone so I could leave the fillet and tape until this evening.
	Late this afternoon I wiped down again, piped and shaped the fillets. The photographer took some pictures of this process and I then wet [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rear Beam Gusset</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	
	
This afternoon I cut some offcut 25mm duflex into two gussets for the rear beam. This gusset between the back of the rear beam and the keel will be in the void under the rear hull locker. The 25mm is quite solid with 1000 gram quad glass, however this is improved substantially with the addition [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rear Beam - forward edge tape</title>
		<description><![CDATA[	
	
Now that I completed the less accessible fore beam bulkhead, I found this job a simpler than expected.
	Using the same extended tools it took about 6 hours.
	This tape is a normal S1 consisting of 141mm X 750gram weft triax laid across the flange, over the fillet and up the beam for the full length of [...]]]></description>
