This will be the place where I can share thoughts and provide progress updates on the build of my Farrier F-22 sport trimaran 'Raven'. I am an amateur builder and this project is truly a voyage of discovery.

Installing Chainplate Pad
I used 3 foam layers glued together from offcuts from the hull build to make the required pad thickness. The 45 degree sides were then cut with a table saw.
I made the required shape to fit to the hull by using a palm sander with 80 grit sandpaper.
Here is the chainplate pad fitted into the hull and ready for two layers of the c spec. covering. I have used some Interlux watertite epoxy filler to smooth out the sharp edges and to make the laminating with the cloth easier.
