What is Cabin Fever ? I guess this is...
Frankenstein MK I on left was 3d printed Plastic
Frank Mk II on right is Fiberglass built by Ken
(molded off Mark i, Mki destroyed & now at dump...)
This morning I drew up the proposed Frankenstein Mkiii
(mki / mkii with some slight improvements?)
Lowered deck frame 1 & 2 on bow
(she does not nose drive ever so area not required :)
Longer fore deck mold to make fibre glassing easier
Chine pulled in around chain plate area, to float better?
Stern a little thinner to help track straighter
on the reach and in the light upwind...?
3hrs later 150mm of stern mold printed and 150mm to 300mm printed by hour six
20 plus hour to print shell then 1/2hr per cradle

Very Handy 3d printer cradles for final fiber glass shell to sit it to keep a very true boat (fingers crossed)
Top edge makes finding deck level very easy :)
3 days later craddles all printed and mounted
Molds ready for Fiber Glass Monday (Sailing comes first on Saturday ;)
Mold nice and fair and ready for Brown tape (hull has light spray with Super77 tack first to help hold brown tape)
Monday lunchtime and he is alive... One wet glassed Mr Stein NZL1270
Two layer of 200g, one 45 and one 90 degree. West resin with Winter Hardner
Tuesday
had to split up bow fore deck to pop off mold.
Balsa gunnel rail glued in stern to bow,
then cockpit mounted on top.
Deck, bulkhead, stern and bow fitted.
271 grams at this stage --->
Hull is very soft at this stage of process.
Next rudder pin, main sheet post, keel and mast box, dish and then forestay plate which should start to stiffening her up.
