Seat

 

It has taken a ridiculously long time to get to this point, but I have the support frames and top pieces cut for side seats for the Skerry. Some more shaping, then epoxying, then sand and paint. I am indebted for the design to Gérard on the Arwen Marine website, which has been a great source of ideas and inspiration for my Skerry.

His are much more elegant. Mine are made from scraps of left over ply and oregon. But I think it will do the job. I hope this will be a knee kindly enhancement. I am not sure if there is a causal connection, but my right knee has been playing up since my Skerry sail. It has been good fun laminating the curved support pieces. I might try laminating some hoops to support boat tent and cover next.

The weather has not been conducive to on water small boat activities, so the latest lockdown has not been too irksome. I am looking forward to lifted restrictions and a few nice sunny mild days so I can get out and give the boat a good workout.
