Only ten days to complete my job list before turning the hull! Top of the list is completing the boarding platform as this provides structural strength to the overhang from the transom. I allowed two days for this task and already it is six days but I have managed to fit in some of the other jobs. Apart from the timber work to support the boarding platform I have put epoxy fillets in the transom to hull join and in the boarding platform to hull join. Then all the new timber needed three coats of West epoxy to water proof the hull. Even the underside of the 12 mm ply boarding platform had to be coated as this area will be inaccessible after completion.
