In Polish language boating and boatbuilding nomenclature is "exclusive", hermetic and almost uncompherensive for no boatmen, sailors and boatbuilders. Most of words are English, German and Dutch proveniency but "polonised" and there are specific Polish words too. If you using other words (from carpentry for example) boating people don't understand of you. I think - similar situation is in many other languages and with many hermetic professional jargons and patters.

Hi All again
Today I've glued rudderblocks...




...and I've coated internal substructure (stringers, carlins, beams, cleats etc.) by epoxy

TIP: Wrap the bricks in newspaper to prevent them from scratching and damaging the ply surface...

HEY Nick
Teoretically - yes.
Be sure then there are no demages of the ply surface from brics

This just looks beautiful Robert! I think because you have been obsessing over the boat for a couple of years without being able to start, the result now is really turning into something special.

Great job Robert and also excellent pictures. But I think before you do anything else you need to fix that power point. After all, we all want to see this project completed

"Power point" in Oz-speak is the electricity outlet hanging loose from the wall, waiting
to electroplate careless fingers...

In Polish is a bit similar (in word to word translation, in technical jargon)

HEY!!!

Yesterday (just lately!!!) I've glued and fastened inspection port's hatches and dry stowage hatches on their places!




Today I've glued and fastened by tiny brass nails fore deck's panel:

First I've coated by epoxy internal side of fore deck's panel




Before last epoxy coat cured sheerclamps and deck cleat were coated by glue, Fore deck's panel layed on place and fastened by tiny brass nails.




Hoping than after deck panel will be glued and fastened tomorrow!!!

How much does a finished Beth weigh? I got it....70lbs.

This is a cartoppable little boat...it is occurring to me that this could be a great boat for my busy family life...no trailer throw her on the roof, on her bottom I bet and spars go in the van and we're off. Hmmmm.

Keep it up Robert.
