i will be following this project with interest, but have noticed that the stringers will possibly hinder any internal work you have planned and they also looks like they have taken quite an acute angle on the bow, thats how it appears to me looking at the photo, all the best

in this shot she looks far wider at the stern (the area across the ballast tanks), might be an optical illision

thank you - i think that is possibly the worst part i have had to do so far, it doesn't take much to understand that if it isn't right, it affects the whole stern of the build, not painting the strap also means it doesn't stand out (dont look at me - lol here for a purpose only) looks a bit tatty - but should look ok when tarted up
