Outboard Enclosure

OK, so henceforth, this project shall be referred to as the "Outboard Enclosure" for lack of a better term.

I decided to start with building a mold to create the sides of the Enclosure.  This will yield a smoother surface from the beginning.  I am using melamine, since it is impervious and the resin will not stick to it.

This is after 2 layers of cloth and 2 layers of fabric, alternating between the two.

Here is the starboard side, right out of the mold.  The melamine really worked.  Didn't need to use any wax or such.

I decided to add some wood for structural support, since the sides will be subject to people standing or sitting on the outboard enclosure.

This is the port side.  I forgot to take a picture of the starboard side before mounting it.

Added a layer of fabric and resin for good measure.

You can just make out the lip I created during the form process that will support the lid.

I removed enough teak wood trim to allow for the overlap on the hull.  I used 3 lag screws coming from inside the hull and screwing up into the wood.

View from starboard top.  I used 2 lag screws which again were screwed from inside the aft berth area out into the structural wood.
