There has been a little progress since my last entry. I painted the interior. I was quite happy with the the colour match the guy at builders supply land came up with.
The side benches are cut out and clamped in place. I still have to make and install the knees that will support them in the middle. I have also epoxied the mast steps in place.
During good weather I will start to work on the masts and spars and in the shitty weather I will continue with the floors and the rest of the finishing touches. The center board and rudder also need some work.
Trying to manufacture an Ian Oughtred designed Caledonia Yawl in the back yard.

Thwarts, Mast Partners, Breast Hooks
Here the thwarts and mast partners are cut out and lying unsecured on the cleats. There were a few f__k ups but I managed to patch them up. The breast hooks are supposed to be a real test of your wood working skills. In my case they will display my epoxy patching skills.

Centerboard case and thwart cleats
Here the center board case is almost finished
Spent a lot of time trying to get the cleats lined up right.
Have also roughed out the centerboard and rudder components.
