Ok my build is underway, Started on Wednesday 22nd June 2011.

So far I have assembled the false keel. Assembled the Bow (part 11) with its formers and dry fitted. Assembled frames 11 through to 31 and dry fitted. I am now working on the launch.

Hi Gary and good luck.

I would strongly recommend you invest a few hours here before you get to much further and look at the wonderful discussions and diaries.

Lots of potential problems can be stopped at source with stuff already learnt by many others.

Ditto, the info and help you can get on this forum is priceless and the build diaries and photos are a constant source of inspiration on those more challenging days.
Happy building
