I think that means noon the Dining room table
Wow, what a great weekend, currently 91F/33C and not a cloud in the sky. Great excuse to work in the shipyard
Just finishing up the Latrine wale.
Three planks laminated together. The bow potion by the Latrine grate has a very interesting "S" bend. I bent the curves on each piece and clamped them in place individually to dry before the final gluing process began.
I think I'm using about 70% of my clamp inventory. I plan to cut out the gunport openings later this afternoon.

I agree with our colleagues - this is really nice work Jan!
@pingu57, @GrantTyler, @giocomail, thank you for the comments.
@GrantTyler, Not to make you feel bad but I did float in our pool for a bit in the yesterday afternoon. Today is supposed to be the same as yesterday. Big family day today, Barbecue and
time on the pool patio.

Thanks for the compliment.
The Latrine end crosspiece.
The dimensions on the Latrine crosspiece are 30x4x7.7mm. The photos also show the neat “S” bend of the Wale.

Excellent workmanship
Good morning Jan. I am jealous.@pingu57, @GrantTyler, @giocomail, thank you for the comments.

. If I didn’t have work commitments I would own a property in Cape Town for summer and Mauritius for winter. (My younger brother now lives there). I would be a very happy man. Cheers Grant
THOSE PESKY GUNPORTS.
Step #1, assemble and sand into shape the gunport housing.
Step #2, place the plank, cut out out the space for the bottom of the gunport housing and dry fit the housing.
Step #3, place the upper wale (three pieces laminated) and cut, fit, whack at, file and sand the gunport openings and finally dry fit gunport housings.
Step #4, place the next two upper planks and YUP, cut, fit, sand, whack at, file the upper portion of the gunport openings. Then dry fit the “whatchamacallits”.
Step #5, go to bank and get two rolls of Quarters. I owe the “Bad Word” jar big time. Probably should get four rolls of Quarters, because the Starboard side is next on the agenda.

Good morning Jan. Wow she is evolving into a stunning galleon. You must be chuffed how she is coming out. Full bad word jars and all. Just a note- for every one bad word jar you have I am allowed 19.7 using the Rand/dollar conversion.Gives me way more cussing latitude
. Cheers Grant

That is funny. Maybe I should consider other currency conversions, could be a money saverYup, I can see the galleon coming together as I add planks. The forecast for the weekend is terrible for the outdoors. Heavy rain, high winds for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Up to 4 inches / 10+mm of rain forecast. So the bad word jar will get a workout.

Another head scratcher moment.
Trying to follow the video for marking the beam holes on plank #38 (Arrow). The plank fits over the openings off the beam holes (circle). BUT the holes are smaller than the dimensions of the beams.
@giocomail. How did you solve this part???
This build plan shows the beams "cut short" and not passing all the way through the hull. Previous plans show the beams inserted trough the hull.
So ..... ????

@GrantTyler. I meant to mention the weather this weekend. Last weekend it was in the 90'sF/32C, today it's almost 45F/7C and alternating between high wind bursts, heavy rain and Thunder noises. Good excuse to be in the shipyard, Eh.
The Forecastle planking completed on the Port side.
Final sanding has to wait until all the planking and framing the of gunports is done.
