dragon keelboat build

[mark69Participant @mark69]

thanks colin hope this has worked this time

this is my first build of a boat these are the formers spaced at 60mm apart as l want a quick build l have opted to fill in the formers with block foam so much quicker than planking

any comments would be nice ………. cheers    mark
