It was distinctly brisk on our walk this morning, and the sea birds all looked like they had a rough night with the storm last night. I tossed and turned a bit, worrying about the big task for today, cutting the centreboard slot in the thwart. Routers can do a lot of damage very quickly.
After a lot of measuring and fussing, I drilled a couple of holes, connected them with the jig saw, then very slowly ran round the perimeter with the flush bit on the router. A bit of sanding and filing, and I have the top slot done. I will flip the boat, and cut the bottom slot tomorrow. That, and fillets under the seats, and I will be pretty much finished the construction phase. A bit more coating, a lot of sanding, then painting. Maybe I can be finished for WBA sailing day in a week tomorrow. Or finished enough.
