a covid built rib

We all have been cleaning out garages, or doing the DIY we have been putting off but at some point the boating craving takes over.

I have cleaned Crusader from top to bottom, even going as far to steam clean the cockpit floor but covid happens and she has to stay tied up....

So while cleaning out the spare room I found a hull and thought, its time for a new project...

It was £10 on ebay a few years ago, the mould was terrible and the top didn't fit at all but a bit of engineering I think I have something.



I used a bit of garage flooring foam, or gym mat stuff whatever it is and made a structure for the floor to go in and I used zap 15 min epoxy (5 min is better) to glue that to the hull



The tubes are just pipe insulation and the deck is just flooring foam again.
