 Frame B and Transom glued up


Pre wetting out the end grain and the framing and the ply gussets with unthickend epoxy and then adding the correct fillers - fumed silica, west 403 and 404 to make a bonding adhesive and then gluing and then cleaning up really took a lot of time, so tomorrow the bulkheads of E and D will be glued, the bright side is all the framing is done.
