Greek Gato Especial Moving Along
Previous boat building experience and excellent craftsmanship have gotten this project off to a fast start

The construction sequence is moving along smoothly now in Athens, Greece as the builders are ready to join the two hulls with a set of bulkheads and the bridgedeck.

The next process after that will be the construction of a hull turning structure so the the hull can be flipped and all the work on the underside completed.

The hull turning process will look something like the sequence shown below. Picture something like 6-8 guys lifting the boat from its build support cradles and rolling the hull on a big pile of old tires, scraps of carpeting, big chunks of foam… you get the picture, and then placing the hull on its support structure, upside down.

Should be a good show and I hope that the builders wind-up having a nice hull turning party afterwards.
