Kit-E82: Boat Assembly Begins
We finally started assembling our 50' Performance/Cruising Catamaran from Schionning Designs by putting in the two most important major bulkheads, which connect the two canoes!.

It was time to wrap up the hulls by wrapping the interior of the hulls! We spent this week working on the interiors so that we can put the bulkheads in next week as we build our 50' Performance/Cruising catamaran.
With our canoes flipped over, it is time to get to work on the interior, and that means a nasty job of sanding out the excess epoxy! But someone has got to do it, so the crew got to work!
A Major Milestone in the construction of our 50' cruising/performance, Schionning Designs, Solitaire 1520 catamaran... we're rolling over both hulls and rotating them around.
With only a week to go before we flip the canoes, we need the final bulkhead finished and ready to install into the hulls. So, that was our focus this week, getting Big Bertha finished!
Finally! It was time to complete the canoes outsides, and that meant putting the final layer of Coppercoat on the second canoe. So, we called in help from friends, family, and a new crew member!
With another spotty week of sun and rain, we continued work on our daggerboards, assembling them to a completed shape. Then we got back to work on the jig, having discovered an issue we had to fix.
This week, we continue work on the daggerboards, working on the important spines where the main strength of the boards are found. We also take a break for some crew health work, and go mountain biking!
We got back to the boat yard for some work on the major bulkheads while the sun was shining. We finished up working on the two biggest bulkheads, the final ones before we can put them all into the hulls.
We continue work on our daggerboards as the next big Atmospheric River hits our neck of the woods. But, when the skies clear, we head to the lot to answer a bunch of viewer comments and questions.
It's raining all week, so we moved to our garage to build the two daggerboards for S/V Lynx. Captain Blood, Admiral Marianne, and our XO, Brian, will need these for our catamaran as we sail this boat around the world,
We got a nice few days of sunshine, so we got our Coppercoat Antifoul on the first hull! So, come join us as we roll out the antifoul on S/V Lynx, our 50' performance/cruising, DIY, catamaran from Schionning Designs.
We want to flip the two canoes soon so we had to do some more work on the cradles that will hold them. But a big storm got in the way of our Coppercoat plans, so we spent time designing a new rain catchment system.
This week, we finish the barrier coat by applying Total Boat to the port canoe. We also spend some time going over the entire Solitaire Catamaran line, from Schionning Designs.
We finally finished up the fairing and sanding of the second hull this week, we're sure glad that is finally done. We also finalized some details on our Goiot order of boat parts coming from France and go over that in this video.
It's 2024! And time to get back to Boat Building, so come join Captain Blood, Admiral Marianne, and our XO, Brian, as we continue marching forward, through thick and thin, as we build our 50' Performance/Cruising Cat.
