    Today, I actually got to get some work in on keels 3 and 4. On Keel #3 I finished fairing the hull and installed the Cutwater. I also got the first coat of varnish on the hull. On Keel #4, I started planking the Hull, I went ahead with 1/4" for the first or top plank and I am using 1/8" the rest of the way Here are the results

    Thank you Popeye, I greatly appreciate it. As I started on the kit I realized that there was a jewel hiding inside it . I wanted to capture the beauty of the transom on my build.( to me this is the key to the boat) I got the offset table from the Chapelle drawings of the boat and Lofted it out to scale . this gave me a better understanding of the boats Design and allowed me to expand on it .So I took it a step further with a working retractable centerboard and working Rudder ( Keel #4 ) and I also opened up frames 1 and 2 (its on my scratch build log for Keels 3 & 4 ) I have been having alot of fun building these and if that makes me nuts I am ok with that Best Regards, Pete

    As the Holidays approach , the build time becomes less time. On Keel # 3 I installed the deck and trimmed the excess wood off the transom ,I then Installed my make shift rudder and tiller to make sure all is functioning properly, ( It does) and that tiller and rudder can be easily installed and removed from the boat . (also works well)I also cut out for the companion way hatch so you can now see the figured Birch on frame 1. Here are the results

    My Internet was down last night, so here is the progress that was made on Keel 4 , all the frames have been Faired and is now ready for planking, On this one I am going to use 1/8" strips for planking ( I used 1/4 " on the previous builds) I am happy with the results thus far on Keel 4. Here are the results
