HI ALL
 
FILLING TRANSOMS FITTED AND PARTIALLY FAIRED.
 
STERN TAFFRAIL FITTED....JUST SOME FILLING TIMBERS TO GO IN.
 
IT LOOKS LIKE I WAS A FRACTION SHORT WITH THE STARBOARD STERN FASHION PIECE.....SHOULDNT BE A PROBLEM AS THE PLANKING WILL EVENTUALLY COVER THIS INDISCRETION.
 
BASICS OF THE HULL ARE THEREFORE NEARLY DONE.
 
I WILL CUT THE MAIN SHEERLINE TO FINAL SIZE ONCE THE WALE STRAKES ARE ON.
 
CHEERS FOR NOW........MICK

HI ALL
 
FAIRING OFF THE HULL IS NOW PRETTY MUCH COMPLETE.
 
LAST OF THE THICK STUFF IS BEING FITTED AND TREENAILED .
 
MAST STEPS AND LIMBER BOARDS HAVE ALSO BEEN PERMANENTLY FITTED.
 
JUST A QUICK OBSERVATION WITH REGARDS TO FAIRING.
 
ON THE FORWARD AND AFTERMOST FRAME DRAWINGS THERE ARE NO BOLT POSITIONS INDICATED.
BEING PERHAPS OVER KEEN I DECIDED TO FIT BOLTS TO THESE FRAMES.
DURING THE FAIRING PROCESS, EVEN THOUGH THE FRAMES HAD THERE BEVELS CUT PRIOR TO BEING INSTALLED, SOME OF THE BOLTS ON A COUPLE OF FORWARD AND AFT FRAMES ARE PERILOUSLY CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF THE FRAME.
 
FOR ANYBODY ELSE CONTEMPLATING BUILDING THIS MODEL I WOULD SUGGEST LEAVING THESE BOLTS OFF.
 
FORTUNATELY I THINK THE WALE STRAKE AND LOWER STRAKE OF PLANKING WILL COVER THESE UP.
BECAUSE OF THE PRECUTTING OF THE FRAME BEVELS FAIRING TURNED OUT TO BE REASONABLY STRESS FREE.
 
I DID HOWEVER MANAGE TO LOOSEN ONE GUNPORT SILL AND BREAK OF A PART OF THE UPPER STERN FRAMING......NICE CLEAN BREAK SO EASY AND CLEAN TO FIX.
 
FAIRING WAS ACHIEVED WITH SOME 80 GRIT PERMAGRIT GLUED TO A ONE INCH QUADRANT MOULDING FOR THE INITIAL ROUGH WORK AND THEN WITH PROGRESSIVLY FINER GRADES DOWN TO 240 GRIT.
 
ONCE THE FINAL PIECES OF THICKSTUFF HAVE BEEN INSTALLED AND TREENAILED I AM GOING TO MOVE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE HULL AND FIT THE WALES AND UPPER PLANKING BEFORE CARRYING ON WITH ANY MORE INTERNAL WORK.
 
THATS ABOUT ALL FOR NOW.
 
PHOTOS ATTACHED...WARTS AN ALL....FOR YOUR DELICTATION.
 
CHEERS....MICK
 
P.S. THE LAST PHOTO IS OF THE HULL SITTING ON ITS KEEL.......ITS STABLE AND DOSNT FALL ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.........SYMETRY ACHIEVED?????????.......ISH???????

HI ALL
 
WORK CONTINUES ON THE THICK STUFF AND INTERMIDIATE PLANKING......NEARLY FINISHED JUST THE UPPER STRAKE OF THICK STUFF TO GO ON.
 
ONCE THIS IS DONE ITS TIME TO FINALLY FAIR THE OUTSIDE.
 
JUST A QUICK UPDATE FOR NOW.
