Mon, 10-Feb-03 After a somewhat of a slow Sunday, a buoyant Monday... epoxied all the bulkheads in place

Tue, 11-Feb-03 Cleaning up the epoxied bulkheads, trying the beam box parts in place. Oops! In an attempt to save time I had copy routed the bulkhead shapes as the beam box sides, but of course the hull is boat shaped and gets wider or narrower depending on where you are. I'll have to remake them...

Wed, 12-Feb-03 to Fri, 14-Feb-03 Remaking beamboxes
