Four Sheets of Divinycell for the Hull Sides – I Think That's Enough.

What this video covers
Sven Yrvind fits and scarfs Divinycell foam panels to form the hull sides of his small boat build.0:02 Working with four sheets total, he cuts pieces to fill gaps between sections — one top piece measures 40 mm, a lower section 55 mm — and scarfs them butt-to-butt directly in place rather than pre-joining them on a bench.0:16 He notes this in-place scarfing is a key advantage of foam-core construction over plywood: offcuts can be glued together to fill gaps, producing very little waste.0:41 After cutting two more pieces for the bow section, he dry-fits them on both sides to confirm the hull is symmetrical, using a centerline string stretched along the bottom as the reference datum rather than the support frames.2:02 A small radius will be added at the sheer by gluing a roughly 3 cm strip on the inside face.1:27 The session ends with all four sheets accounted for and the hull-side panels fitting cleanly to the centerline string.3:27
