Welcome to Marine Challenge 2010!

Hulls and Moulds

The mould making begins

Hulls

After a great deal of designing and making modifications we are now in the phase of developing our first moulds. We sought the assitance of Ian from The Lacquer Factory at Molendiner to spray 2pack polyurethane over the completed blanks. They came up a treat.

I can assure everyone that it has not been quiet. We have our year 10 Technology Studies students working away on their hull plugs. The moulds will be ready next week. All 3d modeling is complete and ready to sand and produce the deck and hatch.We have teams of three and producing 8 boats. Students are engaged and loving it. See attached pics
