 Rudder Transom and clean up all frames


Today the remaining 2 pieces of the rudder were glued-up - tomorrow the 2 pieces each of 2 pieces will be glued together, so in total 4 layers of ply in the rudders,



also 2 small backing blocks were glued in the transom, not totally needed but was in the plans for the centreboard version, 2 little blocks  of extra, stiffness and strength.



 and ALL the frames were cleaned up so that the plywood bulkheads are flush with the frames,

 just a few pieces of framing to glue onto the companionway bulkhead and the A frame for a cockpit floor support and then all frame/bulkheads are complete

- till tomorrow  - até amanhã
