This is how I did the last few frames. I placed all the small plywood parts accurately on the table and fixed them with tape. I then glued the timber to them and finally the top plywood pieces.

I also added small pieces of wood in the corners. Looks very smooth and clean.

My mast has arrived! It comes in two pieces, so it can be disassembled for transportation. I still have to find a place to store it.

In the meantime I started work on the last frame.

Work has become quite difficult. The roof of our shed is corrugated steel, which means it gets hot. Last weekend temperature inside reached 35°. I have to work really fast, because the epoxy cures very quickly in this heat.

With every frame the shape of the boat gets clearer. I’m now working on the last two frames, those forward of the watertight bulkhead.
