We're moving forward quickly as our goal of being in the water by May 1 is fast approaching. The hard dodger is being glued and glassed into place this week. The detail work around the helm stations has been finished and they have been primed, ready for painting.

The picture at the left shows a plinth for the clutches, and another plinth for the winch. The compass will be set into the mound and it is flanked by sheet bins.
The picture on the right shows the chain pipe take takes chain from the windlass to the chain locker. The windlass will be mounted roughly where you see the green tape.

A couple more joinery pictures were added here.
