A lot of small tasks

As I am getting ready to wire stich the lower hull sides together with stem, stern and keel, there are a lot of small tasks to be completed. Details that you thought would take you no more than an hour need a full days work. This is a rather boring procedure as I am now impatient to take at last the project off the ground!

The two parts of the keel are glued together.

Installing inspection hathes to bulkheads 1 and 9

Grooving the stern at the position where the holes for rope hinges will be drilled

Preparing the bulkheads

The jig I made to drill the holes for the rope hinges at the stern

The first coat of epoxy is applied to the stem and stern

Bulkhead preparation part II

Glassing the grooves at the stern

More bulkheads!

The grooves at the stern are glassed and a second coat of epoxy is applied to the stem and stern.
