EP 34 out now

This weeks vlog progress update is about the final preparations for the planking of the hull. I've tried to think it all through as best possible and do things in what I consider to be the most practical order. Although I'd love to rush in and get going with the planking, I've managed to hold back and get those silly little bits out of the way first. So, this video talks about the stem fillet, the main mast step framing, the stem and stern knee bolts and the limber holes; all things that I think are sensible to do at this stage and that will hopefully save me time at a later date.

Generally speaking, I'm trying to be as honest as possible in this video series and show you what it's really like to build this boat. Sometimes progress seems quite fast and other times quite slow, but that's the way it is. Sometimes I have to do other things that just build my boat, and that's the reality of it. The way things look at the moment, I should have the planking finished in May, get her glassed and epoxied on the outside in June and be ready for the big roll over sometime in July
