I'm building a boat to a design by Paul Fisher of Selway Fisher Design in the UK. The design is called "Able" and her vital statistics are: overall length 4.88m (16ft), beam 2m (6ft 6in) and design weight is 360kg (790lbs). You can read more about this design at http://www.selway-fisher.com/OtherDB.htm#KANE.

I intend to procede more slowly with this boat than I did with either of my other boat building projects (see links below on the right). This is, after all, a hobby and there are other things to do. So, updates to this blog might happen once every week or two. Come back and see.

Temporary Moulds in Place

I have spent the last couple of days marking out the temporary moulds onto the sheets of laminated plywood, cutting them out with a jigsaw and then cleaning up the edges with a hand plane. The moulds have been positioned on the building frame and can be seen in the photos below.




This boat is bigger than the last one I built in this shed. while it is only 300mm longer it is 820mm wider in the beam and it fills the workspace. It will be difficult to take photos as the work progresses!
