Jim Lad Posted October 23 Author Share #92 Posted October 23 The 'Duchess' continues to edge ahead. I have now almost completed the new wooden cap railing around the poop. Only one small section at the stern remains to be fitted. I had hoped to complete that last monday, but ran out of time, so it will have to wait until next week.
