I found a picture of the transom which has two layers of 1/2” and another two layers making up the frame. It’s about 3’6” high and 9’ wide. Beam of the boat is approx 12’ 6”. .

Cabin top beams
I’ve been making the 3 laminated beams required for this boat’s cabin top. Each one is 75mm square, 10 laminates of 7.5mm. I left them on jig for a few days, then put a ratchet strap on each for a few more days to avoid creep. It’s still fairly cool here coming into spring. Long one is 3 metres, then 2.8 and 2.6.

Good job Andrew. What did you use to laminate with thickened epoxy?

Hi Dave , first prime coat of neat epoxy then I thickened it a bit and rolled it on with a 4” mohair roller.
Nobody else here is logging a Eland 36 yet. See the boat.
