Building a Morbic 12 named Olive

A very productive Bank Holiday weekend, nearly ready for paint ! Decks all bonded and filleted, who thought you could build a boat in such small confines? I am definitely getting better at the side step shuffle !! The thwarts are only placed in position, I'll paint everything first then fix them on top, I want to keep them removable for replacement if the soft timber poses an issue. They are made from Abodo timber, light but soft, edged with Sapele, we'll see how it fairs.  

  I decided to fill the gunwale gap with resin to add a contrasting stripe rather than a timber inlay. Progressing nicely, centre board case fitted, buoyancy chambers painted and seat tops glued down. I decided to go for a removable forward thwart seat as I want to regain floor lounging ability up front. There still seems a long way to go.........
