Catch-up photos

This is a couple of weeks back now.  I put the deck on cross-ways
rather than lengthways, as that made best use of the ply sheet.
Then covered with epoxy.  And now painted with undercoat.

Marcus is our Chief Technical Adviser and here he is checking that the
deck has been screwed and glued properly.

After painting with epoxy, we filled the boat with water to check for leaks.
We found a small one at the join of the centreboard trunk, now fixed with
the magic of epoxy putty.

And this is the "arty-farty" photo of the water in the boat.
Reflecting our Poinciana (aka "Flame Tree")

This is the Coaming Knee, cut to the Full Scale Plan.  If doing it again,
I wouldn't bother cutting out the triangle at the bottom, but leave it full
so that it sits against the Sheer Filler; that way makes the camber of the
decking there better, and helps with the epoxy connection to the foredeck.

Yesterday in the drizzle. The painted up boat: undercoat-sealer only at this stage.
We're waiting for the weather to improve to finish the aft decking.

And I don't seem to be able to pass the IFC tower without
taking a photo: 108 floors, the very elegant
Ritz Carlton at the top, the world's highest hotel.
Good place for an afternoon tea set: visitors to HK note.
