Fifth of four float hull halves

We got a good start on the fifth float half.  Okay, I am starting to get a little tired of building float halves ... but this should be the last one until the next boat (keeping our fingers crossed).  Notice the fourth half sitting on the rack previously occupied by the first half.  I still haven't had the heart to take the remnants of the first half to the landfill.  Maybe I can make a planter out of it!

We reversed the form frame back to the original configuration fairly quickly.  To make it easier we labeled each batten with its location in the form so all we had to do upon reassembly was put the batten back where it came from.  With the form reversed, a couple battens had odd curvature and had to be slightly repositioned, but all in all it worked well.  The whole task only took a few hours.  Then I spent the rest of the day prepping foam for planking the fifth half.  Today I got to work on forming and gluing the planks.  As you can see, I got about half way.  We should have it finished by the end of the week and hope to glass it next weekend.  It's starting to get cold at night, so the sooner we get this half glassed and joined the better.  This may be the last big task we do with epoxy in the boat house until spring.
