A couple things kept me away from the boat and blog recently. First I've been following Walt Wards boat build and ignoring mine and second a bunch of family members came for the holiday. I also needed a re-education from Jack regarding plank construction !

This afternoon I finally epoxied all the foam and plywood pieces that comprise the mast step support. It's not a rocket science job but with all those pieces and their specific place in the assembly and a bunch of workspace used to precoat the parts it did take some time to complete the job. Tomorrow I'll fasten he angle plate to station 2 and drill the steering tube hole and get some prep work done prior to placing the top deck. more later, ed.c
