Hi All,
After giving The Lady Edith a coat of varnish and leaving it to cure, I found the varnish to have been contaminated, more than likely with dust, so I had to sand down the hull again.
And after meeting and chatting to Gareth and his wife Elizabeth, I wont be re-attempting the hull for a time. So I started to construct the new gunnels and sub deck, the gunnels were milled down from mahogany strips, given a good soaking for several hours then clamped in place over night.
The next day they were ready to fix to The Lady Edith. I must say there were some slight gaps in places were the gunnels meet the hull as she is not totally symmetrical, however I dont see it being a big problem to fix with some fine slithers of mahogany.
The mounting for the winch servo have been made and the rudder servo box is still under construction
The sub deck has been roughly cut out and should fit snuggly with a wee bit of sanding here and there.
