The lower side stringers upto frame 8 are fitted each side
The front frames from 9 trough 15 need the backing strips fitted before we can tack them in forming the front of the boat.
today we managed to get 6 frames completed and 4 frames remain.
Backing strips welded to the inside of the frames.
there is a radius of 150mm approx.. we used the gas bottle to form it perfectly...!
Frame 13 assembled (in darkness) ready for the backing strip

Stumbled across your site today. I hope you don't mind if I live vicariously through you in the building of you boat. It is looking good.

Hi Ray, welcome aboard!
Good to get comments from abroad. Canada is beautiful, I have family in Toronto. Its all going fine here, its a huge project and i'm loving every minute of it.
Bad weather and overloaded work hours are slowing it down, I get whatever time at it day or night.
Talk soon take care
