    Hello Michael, Yes the transom does go above the planking once the deck and cockpit coamings are installed it should look like the pics. Best Regards, Pete

    Today I started by Building a cradle , while I pre soaked the material to finish the planking. Once the cradle was built I finished up the planking, athen I finished rough Fairing the hull. next it will need to be sanded with 600 grit, to get it ready for epoxy . I am very pleased with this build as it has been a challenge. Here are the results

    Today, I finished the Cockpit floor , first I cut out Birch ply for the bench supports and stained them cherry . Next was to cut out the Deck hatches on the fish well deck . then I cut out more birch strips for the deck . I installed the bench supports and installed the birch strips on the fish well deck .I sanded the Cabin top to get it ready for a second coat . I like how this has turned out Here are the results

    On Keel # 4 Today, I started by shaping the Mast and fitting it. I decided to add a square piece of Birch Ply as a Mast step. I then stained the Birch on the Cockpit face , Cabin entry and the companion way rails a Cherry . On the Cockpit floor I made a new Hatch cover ( I didnt like the first one ) Laid out the Deck for the cut outs ( I will do the Fish well deck the same as the Cockpit floor ) Then Painted the Cabin top a gloss white. Here are the results

    Today, I thought I would finish Planking the Herreshoff, However I realized that I did not cut in the 1/8" for the Transom. I decided that I would add a 1/8" X 1/8" strip to the stern of the Keel, and move my Rabbet line 1/8" aft. That is somthing that I will remember for the next one ( and there will be a next one ) there are already a few things that I would do differently. ( That will be for the next build log ) Anyway I then started soaking my planking material while I finished shaping the sheer line ( I am pleased with the result ) It matches the Print . the Planking went smooth and all the seams are nice and tight. I did a good amount of Fairing . Next will be to finish the Planking and build a Cradle . I have had alot of fun building this boat ( my favorite so far ) and aside from the transom sticking out an extra 1/8" ( or the boat being 1/8" too long ) the rest of it is right on the money. Here are the results

    Today I decided to work on the Cockpit Floor for Keel # 4 , I first laid out the Cockpit Floor so that the Bildge could be accessed, Then figured out where the Bench would go . I then cut out strips of 1/64" Birch ply and roughed in the Pieces. Then fine tuned them Painted the edges Black ( I got a little sloppy ) and glued it up . This is the First one I have done like this . I will do the same for the Fish well Deck . I did start to cut out the bench sides and proped them up for the Photo. Here are the results

    Hi David, For Keel # 4 I have not decided yet, on Keel # 3 the Cabin / Cockpit Coamings are made from a Birch plywood and I am going to use a Cherry Stain for the brightwork then a varnish , And I am going to use a sand color for the deck, I may make the fish well deck and cockpit floor a teak deck by using strips of Birch with Black paint as Caulking. Best Regards, Pete
