philoktet Posted February 8, 2022 Share #1 Posted February 8, 2022 After building a number of mahogany boats I left the layout of the second wood layer to my son who is a designer. Knowing, that no real boat builder would go for such a pattern , I made it a father and son project. The seats and all other details are scratchbuild ,too. Starting with card board model to find the right dimensions I created a gipsum form for the epoxy/fibre layers. Later I coated the form with regular 1,5mm mahogany . Beginning with this project I wanted a clean installation for the electric, no hanging around cables . The model frames were designed by Andreas from Austria , the last pictures are showing him and his version - details are very close to the original- of the Alzeda with 2 slightly oversized BL and racing props .
