Lots of jobs part finished. The coamings are glued and screwed in place and today I finished the fairing pieces where the coamings return to the cabin sides. Lots of tricky angles to get right but the final appearance justifies the work. The locker lid is part finished in that it is glued up in situ waiting for the glue. To get the curve in the top of the locker lid to match the seats I had to use two layers of 6 mm plywood. When the glue cures the curve should be locked in place.
\nWe did a big shop on Friday for the instruments and later had a working bee with the crew to drill holes for the deck fittings. It was a very productive day so I have ordered more deck fittings ready for the next working bee. On Saturday I continued with cutting holes for the fittings including most of the instruments and started on the cockpit locker surrounds that the lid fits into. I ran out of time on Saturday and on Monday it took several hours to finish the cockpit surrounds and make a start on the fairing for the coamings. When night fell I retreated to the garage and started fairing one of the
\ncabin top hatch surrounds. These are made of plywood and shaped to go from the curved cabin top to the flat of the hatch.<\/p>\n
