Roof

Chris wanted a cantilevered roof and looked at lots of boats and pictures to design the shape. He likes the look of the forward pitched windshield and made a mock up to get it exactly how he wanted.

 

 

 

He epoxied and fiberglassed all the pieces. He will cut out the windows later.

To make the rounded roof he epoxied together 4 layers of 1/8" plywood over a jig.  

Then he adds more layers of plywood to form a thicker edge and clamps it until dry.

Windows cut out, edges rounded over, epoxy, fiberglass, sanding sanding sanding.... We have a roof!

Straps hold the roof up while Chris attaches it to the boat with fiberglass and epoxy. 

 Then, more layers of fiberglass are added to make everything strong and hold it all together.  The shape is there!  But there is still a lot of work to do.
