Well, today I needed some encouragement. When you spend all this time making things that don't look much like a boat, you need some visual affirmation that you're actually getting someplace. So as my centerboard trunk was setting up, I dry fitted the transom and the first few bulkheads. This layout gives you some sense of what the boat will ultimately look like.

| View from the bow. Once again, crooked cameraman. BUT...it's encouraging to be able to let your eye draw in the various stringers and planks to see that your measurements are not horribly off the mark, and that everything seems to be lining up right about where it should be. |

| Another view. You can almost see the sweep of the sheer and the counter turn of the plank at the forefoot. Almost. ;) |
Looks awesone! From now on she is a boat! Good job. Keep at it. Before you know it the planks are on.
ReplyDeleteHave fun.
How's she looking? She's looking great, that's how! Nice work, John! The centerboard and case is the most challenging part of the build I think. It was for me anyway. Looks like you did a fantastic job.
ReplyDeleteLooks good from where I'm sitting, not building anything at all!
