First the hatches. We assemble, like an origami, the hatches supports
Then the chainplates. Some confusion existed weather we should place them parallel or perpendicular to the centerline. In different Dix drawing they appear in both directions. Christinger too at the beginning was confused but at the end we concluded for perpendicular. Also the number of gussets confused me. Looking at Brian photos I thought there was an extra one until Brian explained me that he decided to make one double.
Having solved these doubts everything became clear. Also the fact that the cut pieces of the kit by Christinger took also in account the differet angle relative to the deck and mast: exceptional!!!
We drilled the deck
Positioned the gussets and chainplates
Welded them in the definitive position
This is the posterior one difficult to weld
and the foremost one. Tricky, it has its own gusset in the frame!
And the final work from inside
and from the deck
Also the intermediate frame E/F could be positioned at this time
Finally.
Then dry fitting the deck saloon window. Exciting
Defining the forepeak with windlass.
Preparing the spray hood base
