Things are really happening now with the arrival of the Back Cove 30 deck mold at our shop in Rockland this week. The glass shop has some work to do to prep the mold for use. Meanwhile out on the shop floor hull #1 is starting to look more like a real boat every day.
Here engineer Adam Carlson checks out the gleaming finish of the first hull out of the mold. Next week Adam and Kevin will be overseeing the placement of the IGU (or Internal Glass Unit) inside the hull followed by the placement of the Yanmar 315 engine and the rest of the drive train.
Hull #1 of the Back Cove 30 is being fitted with the standard engine and will not have the optional gen set so that we can establish performance characteristics for the standard boat before trying any of the optional engines.
