The bigger picture and more - SV Tapatya EP106

Building a cruising sailboat This week, I give you a tour of the outside of the boat to try to give you a better idea of what she looks like. I talk through a few aspects of the design and then we get to work. The sliding hatch is sealed with a coat of thinned epoxy, I make Tufnol sliders and fit them and then the 1st coat of thinned Epifanes varnish is applied before the cast acrylic lenses arrive and I lay them loosely in place. I also get some sanding and varnishing done on the saloon interior woodwork. The SV Tapatya challenge coin is available from; http://www.svseeker.com/wp/product/ta...

The boat is constructed of exterior quality plywood, sealed with epooxy and sheathed in glass fibre and epoxy. One of the great beauties of these boats is that the ballast keel is fitted towards the end of the build, enabling the boat to be kept lower in the shed for most of the construction time. The keel and rudder are fitted shortly before launch. Thank you! Tony
