Bit of a slow down this week but a few useful jobs ticked off.
Had issues with getting supply of timber for the jig. Had it booked for delivery….but failed to arrive. Hopefully here in a day or two.
Also been trying to source materials for the stringers, the mast support features and the keel supports. Hoping the get that resolved this week too. Not too pressured on that as need to get the jig built and all the frames mounted first.
On a positive note. We have struggled to find a suitable “shed” in the locality to rent to build the boat in. Although have managed to build the frames in the garage we have run out of space. So very jealous of the builders that are posting lovely pics of their giant treble garages……good on them!
So we’ve gone out and bought a portable garage tent. Takes up pretty much the whole of the drive but should give us the space for the boat construction. Had fun over the weekend getting it up and hopefully making it wind proof. As someone mentioned in an email to me….”best put the 3 reefs in now”!
