Carbon Work on Forestay Attachment

The fore/back stays are anchored on dedicated bulkheads which are strengthened with a combination of carbon plate and woven cloth.  There are three layers of cloth per side and then the cplate goes on. I believe the cplate was 18 layers making a total of 42 layers of reenforcement for the chainplates.






General Layout




Plate over carbon.  The nails act as locators.  Once glue has been applied the pieces are like a greased pig, so the nails allow you to find the proper position.




Plate faired and bagged.


Task time: 8 hours
Total project time: 302 hours
