THE BOAT: Scow Bow Mini-Cruiser. 14’ long (4.25M,) with a 6’ beam (1.8M,) and a draft of 2’6” (0.77M.) Based on an estimate using the CAD model, she will displace 34.8 ft3 of seawater, which weighs 2,225lbs. She features a self-righting design, twin keels, and a Ljungström rig. Built using the foam sandwich construction method. Every design decision is made to keep her simple, strong, and watertight.
In this episode I continue work on the buoyancy arch. This will make my boat self-righting in all conditions. I build the G-10 padeyes for the mainsheet to attach to on the horizontal wing of the arch. I attach those and then secure them on to the ends of the wing with 4 layers of 6oz carbon fiber.

Are you planning on doing any righting tests before you start putting in the interior?
