She seems sturdier now. I have been working on making the oars fit over two decks so have to make a different holding strip to keep them spaced apart and at different heights. It now looks like I have make 30 more Oars for the other side.
The first planking strip has been secured, starting with the top of the hull rather than the usual keel start. It's all square and true, so it gives me a line to work from. Luckily the planking strips came out well as I did them on the band saw and NOT that circular bench saw this time.
Scheesh, the weather was warm today. The aliphatic resin glue was dry in under 30 mins.
