Today we lifted up K4 with the winch in order to track the movement of the folding mechanism and to obtain a rough weight of the boat.

K4 beam hinge placement

Today Gabe and Dan continued bonding the C-channels to the beams, positioned the hinges, and began bonding those as well. The small carbon rods shown are to mark the center of the hinge holes and to help the guys position the hinges correctly. They used two laser levels positioned at right angles to sight the rods.
