Due to the new gaffer where I used to work frowning on homers , I purchased the wood pack from Sarik which arrived this afternoon its really nice wood and well cut , it consists of the keel, frames and deck (photos to follow)this is a Chine hulled tug and was fortunate when clearing out my late mothers house up the loft (attic) were a few old plywood tea chests in the need of some t.l.c .
Cheers Marky👍

Thank you for pointing me in a direction. Im really quite unfamiliar with most boat terms. Further to your help I did some research on "skeg" & found this which is also a keel extension but projecting downwards from the hull, faired a bit more than just a bearing at the base of the rudder

Spot on Martin,
Very useful on boats that sit on the bottom at low tide in shallow harbours. Cheers Colin. ▲

Hi RodC,
I think it is called a 'Skeg' But knowing me I am probably wrong LOL! Martin. ▲

Hi Fred , many moons ago before I retired I managed workshops at a university I'm going to pop in and see if they would be kind enough to laser cut it for me ,if not I'll go back and get the wood pack saying that the cost of ply and the wee bottle of Amber nectar i'm going to use as an inducement (bribe) the wood pack May work out cheaper.
Cheers Marky👍 ▲
