Atholm...Can't see any problems with your build at all mate....looking pretty damn good there...

I take it you're getting your parts from cna... I haven't been able to get that fer yet, still waiting for my next mailing. should be here soon though... your boat looks fine though. Keep it up. Where did you finally buy your paints from?

hi again athy,your welcome,'bout the poster paints you are using,try thinning down a bit and use more coats,will go on smoother.
p.s. if you click on my links,beside my pic,have a look at my upgraded launch.it is in blue fonts,(lettering)

After looking at other launch builds I realized mine was far from the standard set on the forum. Therefore after some filler and hours of fine sanding and painting I think the launch hull has improved. I have now realised how many hours I will be sanding etc on the main hull and more important what the result of the efforts are.





Now for the update. Rib 15 worried my and after studying the hull ribs I noticed that the bottom of rib 15 was approx 1,5 mm from the bottom of false keel. I ed deepened the slot in the false keel to correct this and found that the deck supports lined up with the other ribs. I then added a plank to the top of rib 15 to bring it up of the level of the false keel.

The profile of rib 15 now also appears to be within the profile of the other ribs.
