Bulkhead & Component Installation
Secondary bulkheads are fixed in place using a tabbing process. This is achieved by using strips of fiberglass soaked in polyester resin to connect the bulkheads to each other and the hull. The result is a fully integrated structure. A well-constructed catamaran should behave like a tree in a storm. Some parts need to be absolutely solid while other parts of the tree need to move and bend. A boat that is a series of parts glued and screwed together will not last.
Engine installation is a major milestone in the construction of all vessels and you can see the engine bearers ready to receive the 110hp Yanmar engines. This will be a shaft drive system that is better than a saildrive for the long distant sailor.
