This evening we started with the decks and outwales. The forward tank was sealed (containing the lucky ship's penny) with batons attached to the hull to hold a deck piece. This was epoxied in and once dry, will be worked down level with the hull and gunwale.
The next stage was to attach the outwales. We did this in two halves, first measuring 200mm points along the pine strip and drilling pilot holes. We then drilled larger holes half way through that will accept contrasting teak plugs. These were then epoxied and screwed to the hull. The ends will eventually be tapered off.
