But it is good to know that the kit manufacturer was not that badly out with one bulkhead. That would have shaken my confidence in all kits. Trevor They do have their uses in the shipyard after all I hope she doesn't read that, I will be in trouble if she does......... Joking aside, it is always good to get a fresh set of eyes on something like that. I am just glad she dropped in when she did.

After the planks are on it is too late to correct mistakes. Point taken and lesson learned, Phil. I dry fitted those top strakes to get a feel for the symmetry throughout the day today and I have been finely sanding bulkheads here and there to get it right. Before any glue goes on I will be double and triple checking that everything is sitting correctly.

SaltyScot Posted March 17 Author #63 Posted March 17 After checking everything was lined up correctly I did a dry fit of the top strakes. The symmetry looks OK. I am going to leave this as is for now because the sails for my Endeavour build are done. I will finish her up, it has been too long since she's had some work done on her. Once she is complete, I will return to the Lynx.

I am just finishing up the sails on the Endeavour build and getting her on the shelf. My week so far has been occupied with swapping out our front door for a new one and finishing off patching and painting after we removed some walls between two rooms here at home. I should be back on the schooner by the weekend, sir.
