Christmas Day 2002
Christmas Day 2002 - I am on left, friend and technical advisor David H. is on right.
Port side forward, also on Christmas 2002.
29 December 2002 - The sheer strake is installed. Lots of clamps and some screws used.
The forward frame is installed, as is the mast bench, and the brace from the mast bench to the stem.
The boat all covered up, with droplights inside
to add warmth so the epoxy will continue to set up in the cool of the evening.
15 February 2003 - Interior view after thwart riser was installed.
Note that a forward frame was installed,
also the mast bench and
a forward brace (2x4) from the mast bench to the top of the stem.
Transom view after the thwart riser was installed.
