The project continues .......... |

The bulkheads
have been removed for varnishing and the new superstructure is roughed
in, sealed and installed. The new rubrails have also been built, sealed
and installed.

The coamings
and cabin front are shaped to our liking, and the varnished bulkheads
are permanently installed.

Mr. Tebbens
is tall, and has requested that the cabintop be raised to allow him
full sitting headroom throughout the cabin. Using cardboard templates,
we alter the shape concentrating on keeping the lines attractive and
unobtrusive.

Once our
cabintop shape is decided, we then laminate and install the new oak
beams. The new bulkheads can now be cut to the required height.

The aft
cockpit coamings have been cut out to accept the new laminated curved
cornerposts, shown here on the deck prior to installation.
|

The aft
cornerposts have now been epoxied and fastened into the coamings.
This will allow sitting in the aft cockpit with extreme comfort. The
new cockpit is now being built.

This picture

stainless steel sink.

The new
cockpit has been built and removed for varnishing before final installation.
The engine is then mounted for the final time.

External
reinforcing cheeks are built and installed to accommodate the stern

With her
new laminated plywood cabin top, portholes cut into the cabin sides
and primer applied to the bottom, "TJOCKIS" finally begins
to take shape!
