I have been making some progress on varied fronts (aka, running pillar to post).
I finished off the forward deck beam and sheathed the forward bits with 2 laminations of left over 3mm Okume so that I could camber the breasthook, but then I had to plane a flat for the stemhead fitting. Lack of forethought perhaps?
I ripped up some leftover 6mm Okume to make bensons and glued them in place.
I chopped out a section of frame 110 to make the companionway opening. It is big, suggesting conflict between the spirit and letter of the rules, but the backing plate for jib tracks goes all the way to frame 110. So the foredeck does still go there. I free-formed the companionway coaming out of three laminations of 3mm Okume, cut across the sheet to make it 'bendier.'
