Hi, My next update on Katie, I have now fitted the last deck member at the Bow but left the last one at the Stern so i have more room to fit other things in the hull. I have also fitted the 555 Motor and Propshaft etc and repaired the rear part of Keel that i had to cut away to fit everything.

Yes Rick I thought about this and there is one were the mast goes through the deck and also because the rudder goes from the bottom of the Hull to the very top of the stern so I will have to make access for the servo so I should be OK but I will keep that in mind thanks.
Hi All, Sorry not much been going on last week because i have been really rough for the last week and been tested three times so far but still negative i am glad to say. I have done a little to the framework in the hull around the upper Mast support and the surrounding framework for the rear large Hatch area where i need to think about fitting some of the radio kit and leaving enough room for getting to the motor etc. Hopefully i will get some more done in the week also can anyone help with the boom picture of the plan i need some help with either making a gooseneck fitting like it using a more modern version, what do you think?.

Hi Rick, While i have been unwell i managed to get my Booster jab today just to add to the symptoms but i have been looking at plans and working out were to put the electrics in the boat in a safe place but not block off access to the motor etc. I have also been working out how many parts and accessing rigging parts that i need, I think i am on top of that job now so hopefully i can get on with the build next week.🤞 Thanks for your comment.
Hi, I have done a a few bits today, i have cut out the rudder today along with two brass brackets for connection to its Servo, I will carry on Monday and put some photo's on so far.
Cheers Jon

With regard to fitting two winches, I don’t know if you have seen the solution used on my Gaff Rigged Cutter. This has sheets from either side of the jibs connected to one of the winches.
Hi Andy, to be honest i have not thought about that side of things yet, I ordered a set of four sail's for her today, but at the moment i like the picture of on Sarik model web site showing her with three sails and i think that is the way i will go. Still along way to go.
