Hatches

I have finally installed two of the first pieces of hardware I bought for the boat. The bow hatches.

First check they fit ok and mask around the edge. The sealant can get very messy if you're not careful.

 

Then the sealant is added.

 

Here it is, screwed in place and job done.

It is funny, I have heard this stage of a build seems to take longer than you think it will. And sure enough it does! I think the main thing is that the number of jobs on the "to do" list becomes massive compared to earlier in the build. The list was something like 3 things, build hulls, fibreglass hulls, paint. Now the list has at least 30 things on it!

Just like Bernd said, I think I have done 90%, so now I just need to do the last 90%. :)
