Above are interior parts that form part of the pod/bunk area.
This is one of of the forestay bulkheads that will get three layers of carbon at the top, but is only coated with epoxy at the bottom. You can see tabs/ears that will anchor the bulkhead to the main hull panels. The notches are for spruce stringers.
Besides these parts, I spent most of the day sanding small pod/deck inserts. These parts will be embedded in the foam core cabin top to support deck hardware and winches. They are small bits that were nested in with much larger parts. I decided to get them sanded and then I'll store them in bags until much later.
It has been ranging from the mid 20s to the mid 30s in town. The heaters have been cranked up to get the shop up to 60F. The shop humidity is about 45% and a few couple larger panels on the top of the parts stacks are arcing slightly. I'm trying to weigh those down. A wood stove would probably drive the humidity out better. The panels have been moved about five times in the last two weeks and have been in five storage areas. The best storage was in Russell's shop for a few days. He has excellent flat tables and a large wood stove.
