bunk access holes and framing, companionway cut and cockpit, various backing pads
We have had some rainy humid weather - virtually a month of it, and it may seem that progress has slowed but NO, lots of filleting and sanding of fillets, sanding of wood, and cutting and preparing pieces to be glued outside the hull but inside the shop once the humidity is back to normal has taken place, the little temp humidity device is excellent for keeping track of the conditions, Thank you Rosi - and in combo with the diesel air heater I can get the conditions inside the boat to 28 + degrees and humidity to + - 50 to 60 % you can see the temp tonight and humidity unheated in the boat on the meter.
the" humidity hen" is not happy
heating ducting
some of the backing pads, these are for the outboard mount and chainplates
and the workshop elf visited a while ago - so I could get an idea of the space,
I fit inside the boat easily without bumping my head, but its nice to see how someone else inside it fits and looks

Deck beam and combined handrail
I have been working on a combined deck strengthening beam and interior handrail that will make moving inside the boat safer and more secure while adding extra stiffness to the deck.
and in the "cargo" area there is the option to add webbing handhold straps , or use the holes as lashing points for a cargo net
also you can see the structural fillets I have made, I am really impressed with them they are really good imho even before they get a light sanding
