The Boat Build has Begun!

It has been a little while since I last posted however a lot has happened in that time. The last couple of months have been particularly active for the build team who have been making steady progress. After making the shed wind and water tight again after Storm Ashley the mould was built (twice!) and this will be used to support the build of the boat around it.

The carefully assembled mould; far easier second time around with instructions to hand!

Planing and fairing of the stem and hog lines has begun but there is still a wee bit to do before the first planking is glued. With the glue very much sensitive to cold weather the team will need to carefully time when to start glueing, and once all the planks are glued then a lot, and I mean a LOT of sanding will begin!

‘Planely’ people have been busy!
A fine looking hog!
