Wood

 

I finally managed to arrange a day to meet George out in his Laverton yard, and get a good load of his fantastic oregon. There is plenty to finish the boat, gunnels, mast and spars. 

I put the boat on the trolley that I got from Andrew from the WBA, so I can now move it relatively easily in and out of the shed. Very handy to be able to use the space and it will be good for the interior fibreglassing to be able to do that outdoors to avoid being gassed.

I ripped one set of rails today.  Not the nicest job but it is  doable. It was a nice counterbalance for the irritations of the day. It sounds like the sail won't be arriving anytime soon. Hopefully it might appear in time for the launching. But I am looking forward to having the Skerry as a good rowing boat. Better order some rowlock sockets.
