So, whats taken so long? The liteply inwhales have been fitted. 5mm wide at the aft end, tapering at the midships to take in account of the shroud plates and 10mm at the joint between the hull and foredeck. The foredeck bulkhead has been cut and fitted along with the kicker and pot wells. The fin and mast case and jib thing! rig tension/hull stiffener have been manufactured. And all balsa and ply parts have received 2c'ts of West resin
I still couldn't bring myself to build a complete GRP hull
Mast fin case, teak shroud blocks and temporary hull support
foredeck underside
the jib thing!
