Well done Mick.  Something very different from your earlier models in the background.

Your right Tim it’s very different to my normal builds .sometimes it’s good to challenge one’s self . As my old apprentice master once said it’s better to try something new and fail than regret not trying at all

So I’m at the filling and sanding the irregularities in the hull stage  which thankfully aren’t too many . Still a messy job with filler dust coating everything including me.  Thank heavens for a good mouth/ nose guard.  There’s a lot to be said for fibreglass hulls though to be honest it would feel like cheating to me , a wooden hull even though it can be tedious at times (like sanding and filling)has a certain hands on appeal to me. There’s a great feeling of satisfaction about building something from a sheet of ply and wood planks that you don’t get from a preformed hull.
