Old Collingwood Posted December 28, 2017 Author #235 Posted December 28, 2017 Hiya folks hope all are well, Last time I posted I was working on the keel, well I have constructed some box work to tidy up the keel, as it really got a battering from all the hull building and sanding, I have also started planking the stem with individual planks, most of this will be hidden with paint, but It will reinforce it and give it appropriate dimensions.
