Miscellaneous Pics, Plotting Templates and Patterns for New Build; 26ft Micro Ocean Cruiser

Here are a few miscellaneous pics, some taken by my wife, who has adopted the crew and often stops by, sometimes with home cooked, delicious food for all! 

There is a pic of our specially made epoxy dispenser ( due to the odd 4:1 ratio of this mix, vs. the usual 2:1 of other epoxies.  You may notice that the Resin reservoir is incorrectly labeled as 'Epoxy' which is inaccurate, as Epoxy is, by definition, a compound.  This has created a few problems for us... and yet...  as you can see...    it remains.  lol. )

We built two kilns for curing epoxy treated Indonesian Meranti Marine Plywood.  It speeds things up quite a bit.

The Ukelele is the Skippers... now and again, he breaks it out, and plays... and dances... and sings.  :)

We have started working on a second boat build - this one will be worked on concurrently with the 63 footer, and will be a 26 foot Micro Ocean Cruiser - also a Catamaran.  We are at the planning stages still, and are in the process of plotting and drawing out cut patterns to make templates for the various parts.
