The bulbous bow dome, now welded in position, was formed at AMS Industries of Vancouver, B.C., specialists in metal spinning [<a href:"http://www.amsind.com"><FONT color=#00bbff>http://www.amsind.com</FONT></a>]. The technician shapes the hull fairing plates at the bow using doorskin templates. The fairing plates serve to push the bow wave up the hull and to stop debris from catching in the intersection where the hull meets the bulb/dome. This helps to make <u>Stormie B</u>’s motion smoother in building seas.
