Planking Of The Hull Continued


This weekend I have toiled hard and made good progress. I spent 15 houres by planking the midships sections at port and starboard side. Furthermore I faired the stringers and bulkheads by using plane and belt sander at portside aft section from bulkhead G to stern.

Planking Of Hull Segment From Bulkhead C To G Prepared

Today I faired the stringers from bulkhead C to bulkhead G. The ship's side is just slight curved in this section, so this task was more easy than the same task between stem and bulkhead C.

Stem Timber Attached

Last weekend I have prepared the stem timber from a 30 mm thick sapeli plank. Afterwards I screwed and glued it to the bow. Today I spent half an hour to fair it.

Bow Prepared For Attaching The Stem Timber

The outer plywood layers have been glued to the bow-side starboard and port-side radius segments. Most screws were removed after epoxy had set.
Today I faired the bow. Next step is attaching a 30 mm stem timber.
