I received the boat one month ago, taxes not expensive 30 euros ( 1400 thai bahts ) , very good pack, congratulation to Denis

Excellent news. Will you be doing a build log??

Still working away on planking as time permits.

The Port side is about 90% complete and I've started the Starboard side.





So far I've not experienced the plank length problems noted in other Santa Maria build logs. I think Pavel has fixed that.

Either that, or your fairing was more accurate. Either way, beautiful planking, Jan!

Thank you Heinrich. It's an excellent kit to work on.

Hard to find time this time of year to work in the shipyard.

A few more planks added.

A quick post, it's a busy time here with graduations, doctor appointments and out door work.

I'm trying to solve a puzzle: The Crows nest:

I posted earlier the three parts in my kit to form the top of the crows nest are not identical.
I made a copy of one of the "good pieces" and pasted that on the reverse side of the "bad piece"





All three pieces dry fitted to make sure I had it right.

Now I have to imagineer how to "scribe/indent/carve out" the four missing indentations.
