| Because of the remote position of the intended boat, It was necessary for me to make a deck / combing surface copy of the actual boat and the apply this to my female mold and recopy again on to the mold. A removable copy was made of the new mold which was then taken to the actual boat and trimed down to fit the boat surface , fiber glass was then added to copy the actual surface of the combing and hatch cover and winch combing s |
 |
| This ply and glass surface copy was then taken back to the workshop and repositioned onto the mold I then glass up under this and onto the mold to give myself a male copy of the boat surface |
 |
| The surface copy was removed and I was left with a shiny ply mold and the exact copy of the deck and combing |
 |
| inner glass laminates were applied, core was added then outer glass laminated on note below the included top flange to receive the curved top |
The top was moulded on a flat table
one side first with its 15mm core, then curved and the inner laminateof glass added
