Week Fifteen – Thursday

Starboard gunnels clamped

Things are so much easier the second time around and that was definitely the case with the gunnels on the starboard side. Gluing up three laminations, 22 feet in length, all in one go is a daunting task. Next steps involve fitting the frame extensions and the coxswain seat and floor supports. Once those are done, plus a final cleanup of the interior, we’ll need to search out our paint brushes.
