chris-uk ...and then put them on their own web page, which I will post here of course!!!  This boat is my first build, and there are quite a number of things I'd do differently next time round (which will be my Wife's boat!!!), but again I was going to save these to go on the web page with the photos.

The main thing though is to be much more careful with the epoxy, as I have now found a couple of rogue hairs that have got in under the glass, which means they won't sand out now, and also with cleaning up runs so that I cut down on the sanding

The deck does look great without any clutter on it, but I want to be able to attach a deck bag, and a compass will be a must I think (though I need to design a recess for that).  The perimeter lines will be attached through recessed fittings to minimise the spray, and I have several ideas for flush hatch fittings once the bulkheads are installed.

I'm always open to other ideas though...

Thanks for your kind words guys,

Chris
