THE CABIN SPACE CONTINUES  19th November

After the blast of Abigail closely followed by Barney ,the ship was protected from the gales' full force by the castle walls, so work carried on as normal.

Apprentice Dave made a template for the final bulk head (wall ) and cut the finished piece from 1 inch thick ply and fitted it .This will support the chart table and beneath it the sink.

Shipwright Dave cut out and fitted the mast hole which will take a mast of 10 inch diameter.
( a telegraph pole is 8 inches in diameter ) 

 

 As the Iroko timber has arrived from Anglesey, Dave began to map out the cabin sides in ply


 

and then went walkabout to view the proportions from a distance.

He seemed quite pleased with the result but I dare say there will be many inputs before final design is implemented.
The temperature begins to fall and a chill is in the air but Pat arrived with cake and that spurred us onward !
