Catherine the shipwright

Here's Catherine hard at work on the third float half.  She planked the entire half in just one weekend.  And it looks great.  I think each half gets better.

But don't get in her way when she is on a roll, she is a woman on a mission ...

Catherine has a critical eye for quality control.  She inspected each plank to ensure it conformed to the form frame, per the designers specs.

A job well done makes you feel good inside.  Catherine will finish removing the clamping squares at the ends during the week.  Then we can clean the seams, patch the million screw holes with epoxy putty, and trim the edges.  Next weekend we will glass this half.  Then we will be ready to join the two halves together.  At last, a new task.
