Deck Construction

After the hull was well along in the Alignment stage, the glass crew got to work on the deck and deck liner.  Here are a few images of that whole process.

 

 

 

 

This image of the deck mold was taken on March 8, 2005, as it was being prepped for gel coat and glass.

 

 

Above, on March 18 when we were at Sabre for a visit, the deck is already out of the mould.  Joe Dudley grinds away the rough edges of the fiberglass on the deck before it gets flipped over.  We still don't know what sort of message was intended by the smiley face on the bow, but it will be there forever!

After the rough edges have been ground off, the deck gets suspended from chains and flipped up-right.  This was done later in the afternoon on March 18.
