EVA arrives at her new home after an uneventful trip from the Jacobs Brothers facility. Now the real fun can begin. The first job will be to install 65mm of polyethylene sheet insulation over the entire deck and hull above the waterline.
Next inside will be the plywood cabin sole, followed by wiring and plumbing, interior components and liners. Windows, portlights, and deck hardware remain to be installed topside.
Metalwork complete, EVA travels down the road toward the site where her owners will turn her from a metal shell into a fully fitted yacht.
EVA’s metal shell is nearing completion and will soon have a home on a hardstand at her owners’ property where the final fitout will begin. Having installed all the systems themselves, they will have an intimate knowledge of the EVA’s inner workings. Boatbuilding skills are an invaluable asset for a cruising family and Noah is at the perfect age to begin acquiring them at the feet of his father and grandfather (under Mum’s watchful eye, of course.)
In the shipyard that is….. Hull turnover day is always exciting. The big, upside-down whale whose skeleton and skin has been taking shape under the builder’s guidance becomes something the owners can envision as their soon to be home.
Progress is being made. The hull plating is almost fully welded into place
The starboard half of the mold (green) for the Muscongus Bay 18 is removed from the 5-axis milled form (gray) that was carved in Topsham, Maine at Janseneering and finished by Steve Crane. This mold half will be joined with its mate and used to form the hull.
These frames will soon be set in place to start defining the shape of the hull and deck
