. https://www.facebook.com/SmartMarineService/ shooting Chop strand glass and resin to form the deck mold. This will quickly build volume for the mold. Very exciting times! I'm guessing that the race boat will enter the SBI race in Clearwater, FL on Sept 30 as a shakedown race-run Then be in the world's in Key West on Nov 6th My personal guess, I claim to know nothing about P32 and SM's schedule, just pure speculation on my part http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...mold/chop1.jpg http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...mold/chop4.jpg http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...mold/chop2.jpg http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...mold/chop6.jpg http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...mold/chop3.jpg http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...mold/chop5.jpg http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...mold/chop7.jpg http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...mold/chop8.jpg http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...mold/chop9.jpg http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...old/chop10.jpg |

Vacuum Resin Infusion (VRI) and lightweight composite materials is proving to be a weight saving, stronger build solution for the Orlando-FL based builder Two guys lifting the bow off of the front dolly http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/.../VRI_Light.png |
Should accelerate nicely.

https://www.facebook.com/SmartMarineService/ Deck mold is complete http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...old/p32_01.jpg the race boat (plug) will return to the race circuit I believe http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...lug/p32_04.jpg http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...lug/p32_03.jpg The hull bottom awaiting its deck http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...2/p32_02_1.jpg |
.
The race boat is coming out of its plug "covering". The canopy window has been opened again and slowly the race boat will be back together. http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...g/p32_03_1.jpg http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...lug/p32_01.jpg http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...lug/p32_02.jpg http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...g/p32_04_1.jpg |

The hull bottom awaiting the deck http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...2/p32_02_1.jpg The deck is well underway. The primer black paint has already been sprayed onto the deck mold in preparation for the skin coat http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...x32/P32_01.jpg http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...x32/P32_02.jpg |
.
the deck's skin coat application is progressing nicely. reinforcements on the lower areas of the canopy is being added the deck is getting close for its Vacuum Resin Infusion (VRI), a closed molding process Notice the 32XR race hull in the background. That too is awaiting its VRI.....busy busy! http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...2/P32_02_1.jpg http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...2/P32_01_1.jpg http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...x32/P32_03.jpg |
