Starting to go 3D.

Here are some more pictures of the boat as we get it more done. I got done with my finals today and am headed home this weekend so a lot more should get done soon.



Some progress has been made on our Summer Breeze over Spring Break and a weekend. All of the plywood pieces have been cut and the sides, transom, frame, and stem all put together. The pieces of plywood were joined together with epoxy and fiberglass tape but other than that all of this has been done with brass screws and PL Premium, since this is more of a practice boat made out of lauan and cheap lumber. The work on the real boat will begin as soon as we finish this one. We have gotten epoxy, fiberglass, okoume plywood, and a big box of sandpaper so far for it. Here are some pictures of the work thus far:
