Sounds like you're ready for those build instructions, they describe the sequence to stitch it together
I'll see if I can get the scanning done on the weekend
Can you PM your email address to me so I can send them to you?
Is it on a strong back or do you have to build one first?

Will do. The back frame seems ok

Having had another look, I may have to redo it, it does not look all that good. Also noticed the most forward temorary wall is missing. I guess the back or jig needs to be fairly solid.

The foward bulkhead supports and positions the stem
It also helps keep the bow section full
This is how I set it up

I have pulled mine appart, re organised my shed so I have more space. I am now in the process of building a strong back and get it level. I have also installed a larger woodheater. Important to be comfortable

I have been a bit distracted with life etc, I am about to purchase marine ply for the bilge panels. I see there are two types of marine ply available, cheap and expensive but they are both marine ply with AS stamps, given that all ply will be sealed up with epoxy resin, I think I will go the cheaper. Thoughts anyone ?

If I were in Tas I think I'd go the good stuff as I believe the importer is located there. Here in SA the freight costs kill it.
Don't forget the main thing with marine ply is the voids - the good stuff is likely to have nowhere near as many as the cheap.
I have a kayak that you can see the voids in when you shine a floodlight inside it at night and while that's OK for the small spans in that application I wouldn't want a boat like yours with that kind of defect.
In the pic below horizontal lines are seams with the light shining through the dookie-schmutz. Vertical lines are voids.

Looking forward to seeing the Sprinter come together - hope it goes well.Cheers, Bob the labrat

Marine ply
The following is a link to a good summary of BS 1088.
http://www.ttf.co.uk/Article/Detail....5-d26bc04a1e8f
Essential point - no voids.
That photo, if I understand it correctly, was not of marine plywood.
Denman in Tasmania have an excellent reputation, but I have not dealt with them myself.

Interesting summary of BS, I imagine AS to be similar. I will compare the two products tomorrow and decide. I did veiw some the other day, didn't seem to have any defects.
