Before fixing the dolphins I believe I must cover the hawse pipes with lead foil.

For this, I thought of using the commonest fishing sinkers, long enough and suitably machined on a lathe to obtain a kind of tube:

Looks very nice, but you might wish to coat the lead with lacquer. This will prevent deterioration into lead salts from contact with air later on.

I started working on the transom, probably the less successful because of some asymmetry that I hope, completing the work, it is not too obvious.

 

Meanwhile, I trimmed the excesses of strakes:

I built the two stretchers of the transom:

And the crowning that supports these stretchers:

From this picture I get the impression that the courses tend to rise slightly to the left, although it seems not live; mah!

Beautifully done.  I love that stern.

After several attempts came bad, I managed to make a window more acceptable; I do not know if I can, but I want to try to fix the two hinges to be able to open; will be very difficult to fix the hinges to the threshold ......... In the photos the  window is stuck
