CATAMARAN BUILD - Bonding Our Bridge Deck BACK TOGETHER! (MJ Sailing - Ep 181)

Aligning has still been a little tough, and that's because our bridge deck keeps flexing in opposite ways. Time to bond that back together so we no longer have this issue! **Support this build AND get behind the scenes videos by becoming a Patron today! https://www.patreon.com/mjsailing ** To get to the point of joining the two sides of the hull together, we have to pass through a few steps - including raising the deck and adding the main beam underneath to keep everything level - as well as cutting little cleats which will pull the two sides together after we've added our resin. They're coated in a clear packing tape, which will make them much easier to use once the resin dries. There's more of it to come next week when we switch our attention to the botton, but finally it feels like forward progress is happening here! We hope you enjoy! Much love from Annapolis!
