Time to start Blogging again

I am the first to admit that this is something I have not been very good at for a while. Although things have been moving slowly as far as the yacht build is concerned they have been moving non-the-less. Time and money dictate the rate of progress.
Since my last post the chain locker has been completed as well as the sail locker although the bulkhead for this has not been permanently fixed as I am first wanting to finish the "Stateroom" bulkhead so that they can be epoxied in at the same time. The blocks around the edge of the bulkhead are temporary to hold it in place while applying epoxy fillets.

I have also since ordered the mast as a kit from Roy Mcbride of CKD boats. This is a "Birdsmouth Mast" in wood which Roy supplies as a complete kit, minus tracks etc, for self assembly. This works out far cheaper than an equivalent alloy mast.

More to follow soon as I am now busy with the "Stateroom" bulkhead.
