Gunwale cap

Bought two boards of oak, ripped them in half. Scarfed them. Now I have two long pieces of oak to cap the gunwale with. Got a bit of glue left, so I added a cap of ply to the centreboard case. It will look a bit nicer I think. 

Bargain (sort of)

Took eldest son to the annual boat exhibition. As predicted lots of big expensive motorboats (which Harry liked) and as hoped some blocks at 70% discount. A ronstan orbit 55mm ratchet block, a 30 mm ball bearing triple block with cam cleat, and a standard double block for SEK 500 ($70 or so). Also found 83m 2mm dyneema line for SEK100 which must be a good price. 

Knees and then some

Fitted the knees and then planed all off cuts I could find for distances for the inwales. 

The stem is a bit too high and my piece of wood for the front knee a bit too thick so I routed a bit out. 

Now it fits nicely. 

6m or so. There are some knots that have to be cut out, but it should be enough. 

Starboard gunwale

This one was a bit harder to fit for some reason. Probably clamped it in another sequence than the port one. 

Port gunwale glued

Sneaked off to the garage before work to glue the port gunwale. Used a lot of clamps as well as drywall screws to get a nice tight fit. I think it turned out well. 

Sidearms glued

Glued the sidearms. Made and glued the gusset in front of the centreboard case. Got a bit of glue left so I thickened it a bit more and did a bit of filleting. 

First person aboard

My youngest son Hugo tried the boat out. He seemed quite pleased with it. Since then I have fitted, but not glued, the sidearms.
