Shelter Island Boat Works

Now was the time to find out if I had glued the hull to the molds! After rigging up some pulleys I slowly lifted the hull. It came off those molds without a hitch. I needed only to tap a few molds with a hammer, and off she came.

Then it was a simple matter to remove the molds from the strongback.

We rolled it over and set it back down on the strongback. It turned out to be quite light. It weighed only 100 lbs. or so.

Ready to finish the interior.
