Made lots of progress today. The sides are planked with overlapping planks so that took a lot of time . Need to clean a polish then add ladders and hatches and then onto the masts and rigging
Fitted the outer belaying rail brackets and channel brackets. Added the trim around the ladder waysand fitted the ladders in place. Glued the fore and aft cargo hatch boards as well as the ventilation hatches. Next up is the waist gangway board.
Installed the outer belaying rails fore and aft. Planked the waist gangway board with the Tanganijka strips and installed it making sure that the main mast fit into it as well as the main deck. Finished off the hull construction by adding all the rigging cleats and the three rams head block tackle bitts
"Relaxing" - I am usually getting nervous - very nervous
These are such works, which I would like to "outsource" if possible - lucky you
BTW: looking very good
