Still progressing, albeit slowly.

Finally got my first bulkhead glassed in today. Building outside and rain in the forecast, so will be next week before I can get the next one in.

Hoping to have her “dried in” by the time it gets cool so I can finish for a spring/summer 2025 launch.

jbo I see you have left some of your frame above and below the lower hole you have cut. JM always defined 3' over any load as the minimum. Just a reminder so you do not have problems in the future.

Yes. Learned most of my boatbuilding skills over the years here, so respecting JM’s 3” rule.
