Hull 68 continues to come together with detailed advancements from the anchor locker to the bridge surround. Up forward, the anchor locker chamber is prepped for its topcoat while the bulkhead is already painted and ready for install.
The living quarters have seen major strides with bunk framing and tabbing completed, and the crew room now includes its first installed bunks and wall panels. The striking black seen on the cabin sides is infused carbon fiber, used strategically for strength and weight savings and now a key structural detail visible in the upper hull. Across the boat, major interior components are moving steadily through production.
In the engine room, final build projects are wrapping up with upper chase framing finished, battery switch boxes in place, and fairing work under way. The pump room is taking shape with shelves and mounts glassed in and structural components coming together. Meanwhile, the cabin bulkhead is fully installed and handrails glassed, making it nearly ready for paint. On deck, the bridge surround is in its final assembly stages, built precisely to match the cabin top jig.
