What to do next ?
Apart from some secondary activities, anyway postponable, and only one as really prerequisite, from today the "focus" of the important, and no longer delayable tasks, shifts to build the railings (is it the right term?) planned both on the forecastle than on the quarterdeck.
Figure 01 shows, in the area highlighted in red, this detail for the stern area.

As you can easily see, it is a matter of installing 9 vertical 5mm square supports with the base resting on the gunwale of the quarterdeck and the top anchored to the gunwale of the last poop deck. The whole tied and reinforced by two 2x2mm streams embedded in the vertical supports.
In theory, the build of this detail is not complex, even if it requires a good amount of patience and precision, but for me, the real challenge consists in keeping an adequately strong structure, which does not risk falling apart at the first working accident.
So ideas will be needed to make it as robust as I would like.
Another matter, even if finalized to the same result, on the forecastle, as shown, in the same way as in figure 01, in figure 02 (side view), 03, 04 and 05 (views from other directions).
For the forecastle railings, unlike the poop ones, it is possible to setup a separate assembly followed by the final fixing it only at the end. This would make work more comfortable and more precise.
To the next episode, Jack.
