The photos in this section show stages in the construction of a plug and subsequent mold for laying up fiberglass hulls of the Aquila brand 52-foot sailboat. There are gaps in the photo coverage of this process because I did not work on all stages of the project. I have no photos of strip planking the plug, which must have occurred in August 1978, when Bates was in recess and I took a trip to Alaska. I am sure that I have photos of laying up the mold and polishing the inside, and of the completed mold, but cannot find them. If I do find them, I’ll add them. For now, this is what I have.
