Despite the forecast of wind and rain it turned out a perfect day for gluing up the large plywood panels on the cabin roof.
The second layer of 6 mm plywood was glued in place today and I used up 6.5 kg of epoxy resin. The cabin top does not look any different with the second layer so no photos. I do have the hatches and most of the port lights so I can cut the holes for these in the next week.
I am pleased with the appearance of the cabin roof from inside the hull and the roof above the “v” berth at the front of the boat. It will soon be time to clean these up and start painting. I am keen to paint over all the bare patches where the frames were supported on the building frame and I am still debating with myself how much of the timber to varnish as features and how much to paint the same as the roof.

The sloping cabin front is where one hatch will go. There is still some deck to lay at the front of the V berth. The bare timber patches are where the hull was supported on the building frame when it was upside down.
