Shipwright Dave finishes the counter around  the stern. 29th July 2015

The end joints on the outer planks were particularly difficult to twist into place without lots of G clamps.

Although Dave is still not happy with the fit ,he can  tweek things at his leisure now to achieve a finish to his satisfaction.

While Dave worked on the stern ,  Wednesday Phil continued epoxying over the nail and screw heads so that the hull will be as streamlined as possible.( I've given up counting how many fill ins  Pat and I have done.)
With the circular sander now repaired,we fine these down to make the hull as smooth  as a baby's rear end !
