RELAPSE

Relapse's Construction

18 December 2010
Started with an empty shed in 2007. Due to a lack of space I built a mould for the deck, built the deck and then made a gantry and lifted it up into the roof while I built the hull.
I built the hull right way up, strip planked in foam on female frames. Over winter I built the interior bulkheads and structure at home on a large infusion table then took it to the shed and glass taped it all in .
Then we dropped the deck on and rolled it over inside the shed (with only 40 mm to spare top and bottom ). Glassed and faired the hull then rolled it back .
Painted the outside hull and deck to finished stage
Now I have just about finished putting in the interior and am hoping to launch in March sometime.
