Ok. A little more progress.
I put a bottom with a sump and drain in the forward compartment created by the new bulkhead. Before:
I used styrofoam to form the bottom and the sump. The foam just provides a flat surface for laying the glass. It is not structural and not a core.
And the compartment bottom after it’s glassed in:
I also glassed in the decks for the fuel tank and water tank compartments. Fuel tank compartment before:
And after:
Here’s the water tank compartment looking forward from the fuel tank compartment before the deck went in. The PVC pipe will go from the fresh water tank to the pump, which will be located in the engine compartment.
Here’s roughly the same view after the deck is in. I also put in a partial bulkhead at the midpoint of the water tank and a couple pieces of fiberglass angle that I fabricated and then laminated in place. These will hold the tank in place laterally.
Tomorrow, I will install my rigging tubes from the helm to the engine compartment. Once those are in, I can close up the deck over the water tank compartment.
