Despite the rain

Despite a very rainy day, I managed to get this and that done. At first I had in mind to glue on the rudder tube. However, since I need to still work on the rudder shaft and quadrant, I refrained from gluing. I thought it better to have all parts ready before committing. Imagine if I had to work on the tube for some reason...

 Instead of gluing the rudder tube, I laminated two layers of glass onto the mast partner, at deck level..
