Intermediate Wing Beams

Today I finished installing the intermediate wing beams. It turned into a two day process since I was using my 76" level to keep them in position while the epoxy set up. This process turned out to be easier than expected. I went ahead and cut the intermediate wing beams to the correct length and also cut the 27 degree angle (same angle as the bulkheads) on each piece. I clamped the intermediate beam to the level and located the outboard end of it by attaching a straight piece of lumber between the previously glued wing beams, I attached the other one to the level on the opposite side of the boat and located the other end using my other level. With the beams securely attached to the level and one end snugged up against the temporary cross piece all I had to do was fillet the beams in place and wait for the whole thing to set up. I let it dry overnight and installed the other set this morning using the same method. All that is missing from this particular step is to install the 45 degree angle ones in the back. For that I'll need to get some hardwood @ Home Depot for both it and the end caps. Pretty soon it will be time to start closing up the hull and installing the deck on the boat!
