Happy New Year everyone!! Hopefully 2011 will be the year Vertigo get's to go sailing! Christmas time is always busy for our family but I still managed to squeeze in some time here and there to keep the boat project moving forward. These are some pictures of the grid structure I've been working on. These structures will support the keel loads as well as the load from the mast. I'm really happy with how everything is coming together and how stiff the floor area is getting. This first picture is looking forward. The floor area around the aft part of the keel box will be at the level of the aft berths. Then forward of this
area the floor drops about 6 inches. Along each side of this lower area there will be benches that run from the aft berths to the v berth area. Although you can't stand in this boat, the benches will allow for very comfortable sitting headroom. Also along the starboard bench up at the v-berth will be a small sink and a place to hang my new jet-boil camping stove I got for Christmas!
