Outer stem fitting
Slow but sure progress on the yawl. Started fitting the outer stem today. laminated the seven thin strips of oak and epoxied them onto the inner stem separated but plastic of course. The upper three strakes now have their fill coat of epoxy on the glass cloth. The bottom and garboard panels will get an additional 10 oz cloth cover for extra protection. Getting ready to raise the hull, pull the building form and lower the hull onto a couple of 4 by 6 beams so I can reach over the top to work on the ballast, install her centerboard and cap the shoal keel.
