More bulkhead taping

Not much progress from a visual perspective but some good progress. I managed to tape two and a half bulkheads into place yesterday and today. The rear of A the whole of B and the sides of C( main bulkhead.) I have also tab glued the bottom of C to the hull. I am hoping to get the last taping done next weekend and then we start adding the deck stringers, one each side. The plans don't call for it but other builders have done it and in my view it is a very small weight addition for a whole lot more strength in the deck.
Thanks for visiting and see you soon.

Progress on the bow

So this weekend I watched some rugby with my mate Phil and then we had food, a great poitjie made by my good wife Jenni. I then managed to talk him into helping with some boat building, didn't take much convincing 😁😁.
Phil helped and we made a template for the bow area. I had cut the piece originally but the hull shape ended up slightly different to the designed shape. We then used the template to recut a new piece of ply. This photo is of that piece glued in viewed from the top down. 
From slightly further back and underneath.
I also manged to fillet and glass tape bulkhead F (front one) into the hull. I am just waiting for the epoxy to set up on the bow and I will tape that in as well today and then cover her up for the week.
once again thanks for visiting and please feel free to comment on the work or critique if you have some worthwhile input.
