Gave the deck a sealing coat both sides so while waiting for it to dry I started on the cockpit that is assembled in situ and when glue is set is removeable so I made sure to put some masking tape around in case any glue got where it wasn't supposed to, I added some fillets to strengthen joins where possible on the under side there is no room for fillets so I used the cotton tape left over from the deck assembly it made the butt joints very strong, I quite like the way the cockpit is done, makes for easy access to the tiller flat and goes back in place nice and snug and held in with one screw, also made up the cabin roof subframe and again added fillets to the joints and then managed to bend the roof over the frame and glue in place, as I mentioned before the roof is 2mm solid wood with planking laser cut into it this makes it very prone to cracking along the plank lines, I had previously glued cross pieces of 0.8mm ply on the under side this did help when it was finally fitted although I did get two small cracks they are hidden by the "sliding" hatch, so all is well so far, I'll be bonding down the deck later today.
