Building update for our Pure 42 # 2: The galley floor is build as a composite part, using two diffrent types of foam ... the yellow one is a lightweight fill-in foam, the red parts are a much harder and denser foam. It can be painted (eg. at the hatch edges) and is strong enough to hold screwed fittings, eg. hinghes or locker handles. The inlays are cut out in our CAD-controlled milling machine to a very high degree of precision. The whole compound is epoxy-glued and "baked together" between two layers of prefabriced epoxy-glass laminate in our furniture press. Afterwards the hatch openings are cut open in the milling plant in the middle of the hard foam inlays, leaving both hatches and floor openings with a hardfoam cover. The main electric and breaker cabinet now moves from the cockpit locker to a more convenient position "indoors" in the midship chamber. Lead bulbs for the next four building numbers have arrived from Schumetall near Cologne, each weighing 2000 kg. And our beautiful all carbon masts and booms from Axxon are prepared for test rigging, showing absolutely perfect detailing.
