Nice build.

My sailing boat isn't much longer than it, and I take her out to sea, and sleep aboard......

I'm afraid not, I started this when I landed a job as a cnc tech but sadly the company folded so the lack of funds has slowed the build, just have to stick with the models for the moment.

Just a quick update, I managed to dry fit the rubrails today :)  the plans call for them to stop about 500mm short of the stem but I like the look of them butting up to it.

Hi Martin, still not much work around unfortunately, I had a great job as a CNC technician for about 2 months until the company went bankrupt, luckily now I'm getting a bit of commission model work so I'm pretty happy about that.

Here is a good shot of wetting out the woven cloth on the front panels, a bit of heat from a heat gun really helps the epoxy resin run and smooth out nicely.

It's a long weekend down here so It seemed the perfect time to glass the topsides.

I was going back over my old post's and discovered this build of my mini tug, just in case anyone's still watching here are some updates.
Hull flipped and laminated keel epoxied into place followed buy 2 layers of glass cloth.
