Fiberglass tape was tacked in place along
the interior seam using hot melt glue
in anticipation for joining the deck to
the hull. |
|
|
Unfortunately,
and much to the builder's surprise,
the hull had distorted while off the
mod! This problem was corrected using
several removable spacers.
|
|
|
The
deck was taped (packing tape) to the hull
for wetting out the inner seam. This was
complicated by the need to work carefully
around the spacers so as to not make them
permanent! |
|
|
The
outer packing tape was removed and a
seam of fiberglass tape added. Then
the craft was sanded.
|
|
|
......and varnished repeatedly. |
|
|
Enough
of the craft was ready to bring it to
the Wooden Boat Show 2000, held at Mystic
Seaport. |

Photo shows how the Double Helix was
transported. An A-frame of plastic pipe
was made for additional support. Our
1988 Subaru in the photo is fondly known
as "recovery vehicle alpha".
