The keel is attached.
By Dermot Tynan, about 11 years ago.
After much sanding and polishing of the keelson, and the frames for the hatches and top deck, the hull is starting to take shape.
The bulkheads are cut from 6mm exterior grade plywood. The wood which resembles a picture frame is pine, and it is used to hold the bulkheads and transom into a square position, and to provide additional strength to the hull. Eventually those frames will be covered over by 6mm ply on the deck.
