Fitting the bow and stern modules. 19 days before launch!
The last piece of deck to fit before launch. The remainder will be fit when the vessel is in the water. This will minimise the launch weight as much as possible.
10 days before launch. Frantically finishing the welding on the hull so the painters can come in.
July 27th. 1 day to launch.
Paint is dry, deck is cleared, we are ready to go.
