Next Job was to install the centreboard case. We first med up a fitted sleeve by wrapping double biaxial glass around the keel blade. While that went off we installed a nice big block into the floor laminated from 2 pieces of 12mm ply. If we were going to hit the bottom we would rather the case split than the blade tear back through the hull and slice it open. Once this was made we glued it in, let it set, marked out the slot and cut it. We then installed the glass case off the keel blade and let it set.
It was then time to glue in the thwart infront of the keel box and finish the top of the case, which was the same as the 1" laminated floor block but was only one piece of 12mm. everything was filleted with nice big fillets and glassed with nice and strong double biax.
