The first catamaran is now well fabricated and full welding of plate interior has started. We leave the side plates off until the keel, bottom plates and chine have been fully welded inside. Boats #2 and #3 are currently having frames set up with fabrication planned to start next week.
The deck has been laid and weld slots cut for the center section above tunnel.
The design is fitted with many small strengthening brackets as can be seen in the photo below.
Below is a view of some of the interior welding.
