Actual construction began in 2001. Using the CAD I (computer-aided design) drawings, the stations were 1 cut full size on Mylar sheets. Charlie and Pat then began by building the stations out of fiberboard. When 1 all stations were complete, they moved them to Bill's shop and strip-planked the hull shape onto the stations with ribands set on 3-inch centers. After hours and , hours of fairing, this became the male plug. They ' covered the plug shape with Corecell foam, leaving the bottom of the hull uncored. Some of the Precision 1 employees worked on a moonlight basis to complete I the final layup of the hull, using multiple layers of vinyl ester resin and various weights of biaxial cloth. Next, a I l/4-inch stainless-steel plate was attached to the solid bottom. This plate is more than 32 feet long by 5 feet wide and weighs over 1,100 Ib.
