looking in through the window

The weather is slowly improving and I have started again working on the outside of the boat now. It's still not quite warm enough to use the epoxy yet, so I am concentrating on the cockpit, preparing all the ply panels in readiness for the fibreglassing. It's amazing how many panels there are to make a simple ply box! 

I had already made the floor for the cockpit last summer, and put down in place temporarily. Today was the time to take it out again. Well, I ended up having to cut it in halves to remove it...damn!

I have also made an "armchair". This will be bolted to the hull to prevent it moving, but at the same time, fairly easy to remove if I need to work on the hull behind and under it.

The kitchen cabinet is a copy of a 1950s plywood larder. It's about six feet high. It will also be bolted/screwed to the wall behind it, in order to be removable for access.
