Hello,

last week we had here a lot of sunshine, so I was't realy often at the shipyard. But at least I managed to finished two other strakes. Only 4 left

Now it starts to look more like a ship then a raft.

Very nice. Beautiful lines.

Hello and many thanks for your likes and comments

the next two strakes are ready. Now there are only two others left. The uper plank here is the rodrarhufr plank. In this plank later come the holes for the oars. She is a little thicker, 0,65mm.

And here you see also the thick fingers, who build this all 😁

Hello,

thank you for all the likes and comments. For today only a short update. I finished the collecting planks for the starbord side.

This pice, with the rudder support, was a little tricky. So I build it twice and nead now a medical plaster for my left index finger! But it is't soo bad.

And here it is installed

Hello, and thank you for all the likes,

and yes I'm guilty. I was't at the shipyard last week. We had here the finest spring weather, with sunshine and temperatures up to 24°C in the sun! 😊

But yesterday the weather changed, and I finished planking with the last two strakes. They are at least only 0,4 mm thick! So as next I will install the gun-wale.

I started with this project last November and planking mid January.

At the next picture you see the rocked keel. I reality the keel was in the middle 30 cm lower then at his outer ends.

You've done lovely work on the model, Siggi. When finished will you be placing her in a case?

I think so. But first I must be ready, and that will take some more time.
