Glad to hear she's moving forward. Any pics of progress or is summer golf season keeping the dockyard shuttered?

Finally got round to getting my photos off the camera, so a couple of updates

 

Added the false decking. It did not line up that well once set, I guess it slipped a bit, so I needed to re pad the bow fillers.

 

 

for the bulwarks I made a little jig to clamp them to for pre bending which seemed to work quite well. I think I copied this from Vossie.

 

 

So bulwarks glued on 

 

As I said previously planking to do. A bank holiday weekend coming up so I think I'll make a start.

She's coming on - take your time with the first planking but remember that it will be covered and can be filled and sanded back to give a good solid base for the final effort.

Well I've retired and had a year of messing around and fun. Down to the retirement plan and the boat has come out to play as well. So to get to grips with the planking and as people have said, just dive in and see how we go and hopefully learn by my mistakes....
