Work has been busy again so the speed of build has slowed a little. However I think we have crossed another major milestone. Having spent a good deal of time sealing and painting internally we finally moved on to getting some more “structure” done.
Over the last few weeks we have managed to get the shearstrakes and major deck plates on. Nothing difficult to report, just the usual shaping on the frames to take the large sheets, but that seemed routine after doing this originally for the hull plates.
So next we should be onto cutting the deck for hatches and vents, starting the observation dome and moving onto the cockpit. But still have a huge amount to do internally.
Other good news is that the mast is close to delivery, just need to pay the import duty – today’s job.
Making progress!
