A temporary scaffold was built to support the connecting structure above it's final position. In future sessions, this will be precisely lowered into place and faired to the hulls.
The excavator made quick work of it.

Catamaran: the connection
Here are photos of the big lift.

Catamaran: Some assembly required
Captn Mark is ready to start placing the connecting structures on his gargantuan boat building project.
I was happy to lend a hand.
We used a rotating laser and a steel tape to check for level and proper geometry of the hulls.
He had placed the hulls close to their final positions previously. Today we were just moving the hulls the final few centimeters in several dimensions.
The connecting structure will be lifted by machine tomorrow. I will try to get photos.
The boat is a Kurt Hughes design.
