I managed to work my way down the side dry fitting, the middle was high off the ground so had to resort to a ladder.
Here is the first half dry fit:

I then continued to the transom and then took them all off again. It is a bit sad how quickly a lot of time cutting, adjusting and dry fitting can be disassembled in. I know I said I wouldn't do it again, but I epoxy/glued the whole lot in one go, only took four hours this time!
Looking towards the transom:

So you are all planked up! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteIf only Rik. I still have the other side top curve (on the right in the picture just above). Then I have to trim the top of the curves and put the second layer on the bottom. Then I will be planked up, and enjoy a well earned refreshment.
ReplyDeleteHow many gallons of epoxy have you slurped up already? 5? But she will be a big boat. Where are you going to take her when done?
ReplyDeleteRik, a bit less than 18 litres so far roughly. But that includes making the rudder, forward hatch, stem, all the frames and most of the hull to this point. But I have wasted a bit early getting the mixing portions right. Initially Moreton Bay near Brisbane and hopefully the Whitsunday Islands in Nth Qld for a start.
