Aligning the Longeron & Forebeam on our Homebuilt Catamaran (MJ Sailing - Ep 367)

After weeks of sanding and fairing (the least glamorous part of boatbuilding), we finally get to do something exciting — bringing the bows of our catamaran together! The longeron and forebeam are two critical pieces that tie the front of the boat into shape. Over the past few weeks, Matt has been making careful adjustments so we can get them fitted just right. It’s a big project — and one we need to finish before the weather turns cold, since bonding them into place will require methacrylate. Before we can even think about that final step, there’s a lot of trial fitting, trimming, and tweaking to get everything to sit where it belongs. We’re also working in custom details, like the section for our anchor roller. We’re getting so close to locking in their final placement — and once that happens, all the aluminum pieces can head out for anodizing. It’s a huge milestone in this build, and one step closer to making our home-built catamaran a reality! #electricboat #CatamaranBuild #BoatLife #SustainableSailing #MJSailing We hope you enjoy!!
