Guillemot Build

[David Bewick]

It's been a while since I posted about my need for a smaller boat and my choice of IO's Guillemot.  I got the frames set up and the moulds installed in the first couple of months of the year but then life took over and I did very little work on it until recently.  Now, about 150 hours in, I have the hull ready to turn over (I like to do all the woodwork before wetting a brush with paint).  This week, I have spent one day running small fillets of epoxy along the plank edges and another sanding most of it off - you know the drill!  I know there is always more work to do than you think when you turn a boat over but this one has a fairly simple fit-out so I am hoping it will not take too long to finish.

Looking good.

You have a good space for building in there too.

Nice one David. It is looking good. Isn't life a bugger when it takes you away from boatbuilding!
Good luck she should look good in the end.
