A couple of questions about this so far
A) It looks like you have a slight gap between the front of the Bow and gthe Frame (First PIcture) I have similar although the Keel is Exactly placed on the Plan

B) You see to have placed the ODD numbered Cant X frames in first and the na added the Rear EVEN frames ois this what you recommend
AGAIN THANKS

I did the odd cant frames first purely because these are joined at the floor timbers and A and B are treated as one unit and fit in place on their individual step on the deadwood. The even numbered frames are not joined, so A and B sides are 2 separate units of the sames frame and are easier to place on their step between the odd numbered frames. Only glue them when all the cant frames are done and the angles are correct

Very nice work Keith.
Plenty of sanding ahead but rewarding work with these elegant lines.

Thanks for asking. It's doing pretty good. Now I just need to build up the strength in the muscles.
I'm finally spending some time out in the shop. Lots to do.
