Sheer Plank Doublers Fitted

Over the last few days I have fitted the doublers to the sheer plank, it took a bit longer because I had to do them one at a time and also went sailing for a couple of days. Here are a couple of photos of the doublers at the bow and transom showing how they fit. The joints all look a bit daggy at this stage as the excess epoxy still has to be cleaned off (I get most of it before it sets so what is visible is the remainder).

 

Here, at the transom, the doubling is carried across the top of the transom.

Last photo shows the bow of the boat with all the planking now finished.

Next job is to add the rubbing strip to the lower edge and the outer gunwale to the the top edge of the sheer plank. I know, it's confusing - the boat's upside down so lower and upper, port and starboard are reversed!
