The
completed hull is removed from the mold.
The two-toned hull is now carefully lifted out of the mold. The excess
material is then carefully trimmed away to ensure a precise fit in
the bonding areas of the hull and deck.
The
Deck is Ready To Bond to the Hull
A bulkhead at the forward end of the cockpit has also been installed
to add rigidity to the hull.
The
hull and deck are bonded together.
The hull is placed back in the mold during this process to ensure
that there is absolutely no distortion of the hull or deck during
the bonding process. You may see the excess hull, to be trimmed off,
extending beyond the deck.
Deck
hardware is installed.
The Wyliecat 17 is now out of the mold, and most of the deck hardware
has been installed.
