Ep 02 – 18′ Sailboat Build – Strongback/Bulkhead & Transom

watertight collision bulkhead

Moving forward!

This is the second episode of the 18’ sailboat build and begins with completion of the strongback. Then, the measurements and lines are put down on a sheet of ¾” (18mm) plywood for the transom and forward watertight, collision bulkhead. The watertight collision bulkhead separates the forward chain locker from the main cabin. A watertight hatch is being added to allow access to the chain locker from inside the boat.

The next episode involves building the main frames.
