I hadn't spotted that one! It wasn't going to be visible for much longer anyway.

Very nice framing. I'm assuming they were the cnc versions.

Thanks for the comments and all the 'Likes', they're much appreciated.

Once again, very nice work and an interesting addition to the rudder. However, this time it's your turn to see if you can find an 'Undo' button. The Limber board covers are supposed to be removable, but I'm assuming you've glued them in place. You need a gap for the mast step!

The last picture I posted in this build log (PICT_F_1911) was of the rudder cover. At the time, I commented on the way it looked and that I’d added a piece to close off a gap at the rear of the cover. I’ve since realised that the cover was incorrectly assembled. I’d aligned the parts such that...

Very nice job Lawrence. Don't be in too much of a hurry to glue it in place, it's nice to be able to lift it out at this stage.

Hi Lawrence. Looks like there's been a productive period over the last week or so. Looking good!

Following my last log entry, Mike emailed me some additional information re fitting the rudder on the prototype. I asked if he was happy for me to post the information here. He replied to say "You are more than welcome to post any of my HMY Fubbs material on SOS. I have sent these updates to...

Thanks for the feedback Lawrence. Yes, the loss of Mike's log was a major set back. Thanks also for all the 'Likes'.

Nice work Jodie. Definitely a different 'Way To Go'!

With the cabin floor in place, the next step seemed to be to fit the wall panelling. The way to do this was to copy other builders and create a paper template. That was the easy bit; however, the panelling comprises two sheets per side, so I decided to see how I could join these together. I...

Thanks for the positive feedback folks.

Remember this picture? PICT_F_1402 These are the poop deck beams and the upper surface of the deck should be level with the top of the bulkhead break. The top of the two short lengths of deck planking should therefore be at that level. The problem isn’t with that bit of logic, it’s that those...

Thanks Uwe. Planks that size don't want to bend!

Somewhere in the various build logs was someone’s advice that the hull planking should be carried out before continuing with the great cabin. It didn’t take very long attempting to clamp planks to hull to see that that was good advice. The suggested pattern was a three butt shift. I could...

That's a very useful set of pictures!

Bryian: The only pictures of Mike's prototype that I have are the ones on the USB data stick. (Lots of them!)

A question for Fubbs builders: Do the "Hull Mid Wales" fit between the "Hull Main Wales"? And while I (hopefully) have your attention, is the strip of wood that runs in line with the channels the "Hull Molding"?

The two links I posted a decade or so ago no longer work, but they still might be of help to you, so here are the files: (And happy birthday).

Thanks Jodie. There will be more work on the rudder later. I've just been looking back through the log and there are lots of people that I'd like to thank for their comments and 'Likes'
