Summer Sailing


We have spent too much time sailing N3232 and not enough time in the garage working on Bobtail.

Finally got all the fittings that will be hidden beneath the decks fixed , the remaining deck panels are now glued in place.

The wash boards are also finaly fixed in place. I am pleased with the jonit on the centre line of the decks. It is as good as my woodworking skills allow....I used the old ones as a pattern, Starting from scratch would have been impossible.

The mast is deck stepped in the little triangle behind the wash boards

Final clean up required together with some cover pieces etc.

Soon be time to roll her over and start on the other side.

Transom complete apart from spline to cover end grain in ply decking. Bronze horse plan failed so Purely Metal have made a very nice stainless steel one. Thanks Colin.

I need some nice gold lettering as seen on "Tessa". Where did you buy them Tim?
