Dave Smith working on JB's boat, fitting bottom panels. The wide stringer is for the junction between flat sheets and laminated radius sections of the skin and comprises a stringer with a plywood doubler.

Side and bottom panels fitted and first layer of radius started.

The hull skin completed, showing the good shape resulting from this method of building.

Hull turn-over day. This photo shows how the stringers converge in the lower forebody of these hulls, giving tremendous strength to resist damage from flotsam collisions.

Deck on, cabin skin in progress and sheer capping also on the go.

Closer view of stitch and glue cabin skin.

Deck structure nearing completion. The stitch and glue seams have now been glass taped.
