The stern deck beams and mini-stringers, as we did on the bow. Note that we didn't do the side knees, just chocks. That's the deck sitting there on the centreboard trunk. |
Stern deck installed, epoxied and the bulkhead dry fitted. |
This is the photo from the Somes Sound website. See how much ours above looks like this! |
And our constant companions on this build, sheltering from the "cold" (12 C), hunkered up against the only heating we have here in HK... Marcus on the seat, Basil and Nikki... |

Thanks for your blog as well as Dave's. I've had John's plans for a little over a year and have FINALLY set up the jig and forms. Had to repair an old barn for a workshop, my canvas shed kept blowing away in high winds. Made lots of parts during the winter. Now ready to really get started. Thanks for paving the way!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve, good luck!
