Most beams are in

Yesterday not much work was done. Other business was more important. More work done today.

After putting saddles on two forward beams I did take the station 2 mold out. Instant effect.  Far easier to clean out the epoxy in this section.

For better cleaning I acquired a B&D  palm sander with the possibility to put a "finger" at the front end. Very handy to get into corners.

All other cross beams were made and glued in.  The middle beams were easier because the hull is almost straight there in longitudinal direction. So one axis less to bevel.

Also the beam is easier to position and fix.  I used a small red cedar wedge at both ends to clamp the beam.

That technique was not possible at the end of the boat. Due to the curvature of the hull wedging is not possible with the slippery epoxy so I decided to use positioning screws there.

After curing these screws are taken out and a red cedar 8 mm bung is put in. Looks even smart.

Next step is putting saddles at several beams, cleaning, taking the othe molds out and making the two cross beams for the side seats followed by more cleaning.  After that I think it is time to rip the rubrails and the sheerstrake moldings.

Still a lot of work to do.
