First of all sorry for the late update :oops: one week to late :oops:
good news is I can put on some pics with this posting :P
Well that jig did go up Saturday before last saturday.
Image

Only last week I made some modifications on it, along the way, because it was a little bit to long, or the stations where on to low depence how you look at it :wink:

So I put on the stations and try to line them out think this tolerance (see pics) is acceptable???

Image

Image


After that the next logical step was ( I think :doh: ) cutting and glueing the long panels the bottem panels I already did

Image

I think my dog Sammy is thinking NO WAY I'm going on on the sea in that thing :P

Here you can see the bottom panels on the jig

Image

Image

And here the upper and lower side panels.

Image

This was yesterday started to glue a little bit used way to much today my belt from the sander said to me do it your self :lol:

Image

So that was the update so far, I try to do it more frequently but can't promise anything.

Saludos , from a at the moment very hot Curaçao 35 degrees Celcius that's about 95 degrees Fahrenheit if I'm correct, Humidity is about 80 %

Laterz Peter

PS: please let me know if you (anybody) see's mistakes I might have made, thank's in advance.

She looks great! I am so excited to see this go together. I would love to do one of these myself. Maybe you will be my inspiration!

Build some steps for it - when you turn it over you'll find that a boat builder climbs in and out of the boat maybe a thousand times more than a boat owner ever does; and that's a big, big boat!
