The roof for the forward cabin has been made from bass strip. It is removable and will remain so but it will fixed in place by virtue of the mast being mounted on it. Next job will be fitting the sub-mast that runs between the keel and the underside of the roof.

Made the bilge keels from two laminations of mahogany sheet to get the correct thickness and then glued them in place. Once this was done I was able to return to the superstructure. Drilled the holes for the portholes and then glued the cabin sides in position.
Made the forward cabin front window and glued in followed by that for the rear cabin. Bolted and screwed the upper support for the drop keel whilst I still had easy access.
Really starting to take shape now but still a long way to go!

Nice work Chris and an interesting model that must be very satisfying to build.
The integrated cabin will help to keep any "deck wash" water out of the hull - probably even more important with a sail boat and a round bilge hull as it will roll more than the more traditional Fairey Marines deep-vee power boat hull shapes. Bob. ▲

Thanks both.
It's been very satisfying building a couple of plank on frame models. The hulls are very tactile! They can take a long time though, particularly this one being double planked. Chris ▲
