Got the rest of the deck beams in, and planked the deck last night.
A closer view of the deck.
The openings in the deck from the bow, aft are, access to the forecastle ( storage ). Just aft of the mast, is the cargo hold, and the furthest aft is the main cabin.
This last picture is of the "doubling of the mast". Here you can see the cross trees, trestle trees,the "cheeks", ( under and supporting the "trees" ), and the cap. Attached at the cap is the bale for the fore stay, with the fore stay rigged. (( Just for a size comparison the "Cap" is 1/4" x 1/8", and 1/16" thick )).
Next up will be constructing the main cabin, the cargo hatch frame and covers, and the companionway to the storage area in the bow.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
