It is surprising to see what difference it makes when you can work with continuity. I mean, when you can work for two consecutive days. Things just go double as fast! Who would have thought that...
We had a holiday on Friday blessed by hot and sunny days. I managed to make good headway in ways of painting the cabin. Which is now almost completely painted. Almost. These still is some varnishing of bright wood to do... And... well some spots would well deseve a second coating. The job might look decent on the pictures, but as I have mentioned before, it is less than perfect when seen in place.
The entrance, "companionway", washboards, and flanges to keep them in place are fitted to place, and all works fine. The flanges might be screwed on, in stead of glued on. I'm still pondering on the pro and cons. The console for the steering wheel is one step from being glued into place. Its front panel is epoxi coated.
Inside the cabin I have cut the passage for steering cables through the entrance step-board. Whatever proper name you'd give for that. I order to protect the cables, a box will be built around them. A mock up of that can be seen on the second picture from top to bottom.
As you can see, it is many things that make a boat. Building a hull or two is not enough. It is the little bits and pieces which will make the boat work properly. Some work and thought must go into those.
