While work continues on the hull and deck of the trimaran Corsair 880, beam plugs are shaping up nicely. The beam plugs have been constructed in a very similar manner to the larger plugs. This begins with designing the framework on the 3d model before exporting these to a CNC machine to be precision cut and then assembled. These frames are then covered, glassed and filled and fired before a final top coat is applied and a mold is taken. The beams on a folding trimaran are under an incredible amount of load, a lot of engineering goes into the design and internal structure required to keep these impressive structures in tact.
