We have started making the mould patterns for the build by first transferring the full size patterns supplied by the designer on to hard board to make templates. We then fair off the mould edges (as shown here) of these templates to 19mm ply to make the actual mould stations. There are 22 mould stations on Joel White's plans but we decided that 9 stations taken from critical points along the boats stem and keel will be sufficient for our modern composite hull. The finishing of these will take place at the start of January. In between we have had various C&G assignments to undertake here on the course aswell as other lectures. Fiirst week of January we hit the ground running with the build.
