Hi Dominic, Thanks. The flash I think was brought more of the pattern out than normally shows. I think the couch will be appearing in many more shots in the future, it is a nice soft resting place for the camera shoots  Also working on:

Hi All, Just an update on the planking, slow progress, as trying not to rush. The pics speak for themselves. One or two areas not even, not sanding and filler should sort that out. I have lightly sanded a couple o spots and it seems to do the trick.      I will post more photos of my progess at the weekend. Thanks for looking. Claret. Also working on:

Looking good claret, almost there If i might add because its hard to tell, but you might be needing to leave more bamboo planking at the end of the keel for the stern post, keep up the good work :) Processing - Progressing

Hi Claret, The build is looking good WTG. Would like to pick up on the Admiral`s point in the previus post, about the length of the stern planks past the end of the keel. I have left mine a bit longer than yours ,but I can`t find any reference to there being any set length to leave past the end of the keel  . As a newbie to this maybe one of our more advanced members could clarify this point. Keep up the good work Claret. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Regards delboy271155 (Derek) Hi Claret, I covered the overhanging stern planks issue with MWG in my build diary... If you take a look at post no 519 onwards I think you will find it very useful..... Keep up the good work... Regards Alan

Hi Alan, AAS & Derek, Thanks for your comments and pointing out the stern planking over hang. it does seem vague and i may have cut off more than i should have, over keen with the saw. Fingers crossed  Regards Claret Also working on:

Hi, I have made a little more progress with fitting the stern reinforcement, I followed gandale's method of gluing and sanding the profile, fiinding this much easier.  Regards Claret Also working on:

Hi, Made some progess on the launch swell. I fitted 5 thwarts instead of 4 as I had an extra oar notch. Does not look to out of place, I hope I used a pair of compasses to get the correct length for each thwart. Result as shown in the photo.  That's all for now. Regards Claret Also working on:
