 the interior build begins - keel bearers

All the waterlines and centerlines were kept in place throughout the build so that it is simple to construct from them, rather than having to remark them as they get sanded off, even the waterline on the hull was remarked each time, and at the moment it is on the outside of the hull waiting till it is needed again.

The keel bearers are being measured and cut and fitted, you can see the centerlines on the bulkheads and the floor and also the makings for the bunk level and mast bulkhead cut outs as well , all these were thought about and roughly marked while the boat was upside down, now they need to be finalized. You can also see where the screw holes were filled with small dowels after removing the screws for gluing the hull bottom plates together, some holes were epoxy relief holes to allow excess epoxy to escape during the gluing process, this is also a good idea, because any air can escape and it also serves as an indicator that the whole panel is bonded (glue comes through the relief holes) and no "dry" or hollow areas are in between the panels. The keel bearers will be drilled for the mounting bolts and then glued in, using the centrelines, afterwards a template will be made for the keel plate mount, using the hull outside centreline (also drawn on under the boat) and these holes. IMHO the small amount of time to maintain these lines is a huge time and hassle saver as the build continues.

You can see the stern view of the boat, and also the new workshop rafters that were installed to support the roof for the hull turning. There was originally a strong beam that spanned the shop, it was removed so that the hull could be flipped with the strongback still in place (the strong back automatically leveled the hull athwartships and it just needed tweaking to level it fore and aft), if the beam was in place there was not enough clearance to flip the hull, so new rafters had to be installed and also the shop had to have the wiring re routed because all the electrical socket were under the strong beam, the siting of the electrical sockets under the beam was so that all power tools could be plugged in to the socket overhead and this allowed the shop to be free of trailing extension cords - now it is just off center with the vacuum dust collector above them.
