 first Pics, I have got the frame and deck together, faired the frames, , attached the bulwarks, i broke one set, but put a temporary repair it to get it fitted, and also got the first 2 planking strakes on,

I'm working in Angola at the moment, I brought it back to pass the time, I'm not trying to build her in record time, I'm thinking for the hull, 4 to 6 planks each time will be good going
