She's a beauty, Jan!

Thanks Paul. she's been gathering dust for the last two months, great to be working on her again.

A small update.

I decided to add planks #10 through #13 (the Oar Plank) to get an idea of how the decks fit.

After inserting the decks I can now see how the extension end pieces supplied in the kit will fit against the inner hull.

I saw also Pavel’s video about the deck planking: a intens job. It’s going to look very nice, Jan. I can imagine that it took you ‘some time’ to figure out what the best practice is.

It's really coming along Jan - looks fantastic. I was trying to figure out what's going on just forward of the rudder block, but zooming in, it just looks like a weird camera artifact.

The yard and garden work are beginning to wind down, so I'll be getting back to my own soon - I hope!

Hi Peter. There is a big difference between the kit plans and Pavels video for the building the deck planking. The build plans show the assembly steps for the deck planking. Pavels video shows how he added addional end pieces to eliminate any gaps between thr hull and the ends of the decks. It makes that part of the build a wee bit more complicated.

Hi Russ. Hmm, don't know what to tell you, in the photo it looks like some thing is missing in that area but physically all the hull is there.

Yes, those extra pieces are on a separate sheet included in the kit. They are not listed in the assembly manual. They will make your deck fit much better.
