Thank You, Elijah, I will be installing the Keel on the Haven, hopefully, this week weather permitting ( it snowed here today I need it to be a bit warmer for the epoxy

Today, I started by making the Tiller, I almost had the first one complete when the Egg on the tip broke off, I then had to make a second one, it is nearly complete and then need to be finished. I then Made the Boom Vang and installed it to the Mast and Boom. Next will still be to make the cleats and raise the Sails. Here are the results

Today, I started by making the remaining blocks. Next I secured the Standing rigging by attaching them to the Turnbuckles. I then ran the running rigging. Next will be to make the Cleats, Tiller and raise the Sails. Here are the results

I am hoping to get some work done on the Herreshoff today ( I will post pics later ) I have been doing Pre- work for the 1/2" scale Volvo pond Yacht with the Volvo that I started, I then ( after planking with Balsa ) Realised that I wanted to do some water testing at the smaller scale to help with rudder and keel configurations, So I started another and will be using Basswood for the planking, Here is where I am at with that project

Any good build log just has copious amounts of pics, of the good and bad parts to learn from our mistakes. Those darn framing errors plague me still, trying to sand them out at multiple stages so I don't sand any one piece too thin. The bump is actually in the framing too. Kingplank is center but decking not...thinking about a fix to it.

I met my goal of getting all of the lodging knees in place this evening. I however ran out of timber for the deck framing. There is one last piece that I will have to fudge with a slightly different size piece. Oh well. Totally not worth going to get more at this stage. I plan on planking the deck. I was actually contemplating doing a half plank and leaving open the other half to allow better view into the hull and its details. The deck framing needs some sanding for sure, and I was test fitting the next piece, the king plank...my mast hole is slightly off and it's all thanks to my shoddy framing I did. I am paying for my early mistakes already. I'll just have to adjust a bit. Cumulative millimeter or half millimeter errors in the first 5 frames I placed lead to a 3 mm discrepancy in the mast hole which would lead to a several degree tilt to the mast one does not need.
