Bought the plans off the Wooden Boat Store they are quite strange to work to hand drawn and often contradictory first problem is printing them but the free version of Acrobat lets you print full size in tile mode so much sellotaping later I have 9 full size plans which I can photocopy on my printer to give me the outlines to lightly Pritt stick to the wood so I can start cutting out.

I wanted to know if I should use yacht varnish on the inside before it is hidden by the deck, I know the first coat should be a thinned 2 parts varnish to 1 part thinners

Sealed the inside the hull with Rustins Gloss Yacht Varnish, glued in a couple of ping pong balls into the space at the front and wanted to do same for rear but the lowered deck got in the way. Fitting the deck was easy now I get do all the fun stuff lots of carving and enhancing

Been busy with other projects mainly customer clock servicing as this is my third boat build this Summer other work has suffered.
