Deck fitted

Here is the deck on and screwed/glued down (1/4" ply).
Note our Chief Technical Adviser, Marcus, overseeing work,
and Basil, the Deputy Technical Adviser behind him.....
Our Chief Technical Adviser is making close measurement of the plywood

Before putting on the deck, this is how we did the deck frames. Its not
according to the book, which has a single deck stringer, but very strong.
The Breasthook (at bow) is of ChaoMu, a Chinese mahogany.

I added a couple of extra frames near the Breasthook, to make sure the
join between two pieces of plywood would be tight, as I joined the
plywood widthwise, not lengthways, as that made best use of the board
