Hi Mat
Welcome to the club. What a good choice.

Have a read of my build and improve on some of my mistakes. If there is anything you're unsure of then I would be only to happy to help. I have a few thousand pictures (all I had to work with !!) to get the perspective on various shapes. Although my version is not meant to be a accurate representation, it does look similar when out on the water.
Keep us all posted on your progress.
