Just a note to bring up to date the state of the fit-out and progress over the last month…
We have fitted:
- Chain-locker for anchor, rode etc.
- Mast/partners support steelwork
- Foredeck (although we need to cut out hatch for chain-locker, glass and then fit teak decking)
- Aft deck (hatches, glassing and decking also to be fitted)
- Two v-bunks
- Side-deck structure alongside coach-house to allow access to foredeck – (ply deck, glass and teak still to come)
- Cabin rear bulkhead (this needs to be in place now to allow cabin roof carlins to be located and fitted)
- Made three cabin-roof beams to entirely the wrong camber (#expensiveFirewood)
- Made two cabin-roof beams to the right camber (two more needed)
The “Teak Decking” never happened – just too expensive, so 2-part epoxy paint and varnish will have to suffice…
