Boat Construction (1)

   This is the last project of my course, boat construction. My class were in charged of 'Willson 8m boat'. Before we starting, former  CAT students has already made basic shape of hull. Therefore, our main jobs were making a cabin top and interior construction such as cockpit, toilet, galley, and berth. Also, we needed to consider about electical wiring and water pipe things.   

   Every students had different roles and my duty was making 'chilly bin boxes'. I had to make two boxes and it would be positioned in the middle of hull where was next to kitchen sink and the other one was behind of cockpit.

  My tutor brought his chilly bins and I began to design. There were few things that I making allowance for my chilly bin boxes. 1. The chilly bins are able to put in and taking out from the box easily.

2. It should be used for seat when the box is closed.

3.Both boxes should be parallel and have same height.   

I drew concept designs and thought about placements. However, I met severial difficulties while I working on this. Firstly, being different size of two chilly bins, it was hard to make them parallel. Moreover, if the boxes were located against the side bulwark, it might not open the cap properly because of side deck (cabin coaming(camber)). If I turned the boxes horizontally, the corridor between cockpit and galley become too narrow. In addition, my tutor wanted to have a wide space for fishing. Thus, the plan of making  chilly bin boxes were stopped and postponed.    

After that I had another job which was making fish pole lockers. They would be located inside of bulwark. I made a sample locker and tried out but my tutor decided to postpone it again. 

Finally, I helped others. One of my classmate was making a sole so, we made dubbler and baveling together.
