HOW to build a RAFT - Part 8

Week 5, 07.04. - 12.04.

It was a stressful but incredibly successful week! We finally got the wood for the guaras - the boards that allow us to steer the raft and also act like a keel. Transporting all the boards to the building site took us 16 hours.

We also made great progress on the raft itself: we built the base for the hut and mounted the frames on top of it. In addition, we began designing and constructing the cockpit, started cutting insulation for the hut, and built the mast shoe - a fixture that keeps the mast securely in place.
