Front deck

After at least a month of not being able to do any work, I have resumed the fun.

From this angle you could almost be fooled into thinking the first hull is complete. The truth is far from this.


I have mostly completed the decking of the bow area including the main beam area. The decking under the main beam mounts took quite a lot of time for not a lot of visible progress, compared to plain single sheet planking which is actually very fast. There is significant reinforcing to take the loads from the main beam here. I still need to take to the hard edges with the router but I'll wait for the rest of the decking and cabin before doing that.
I have left the hatch sitting in it's cut out mostly just to stop dust, screws and whatever else might be around from falling in there.
