Looks A Treat Dirk !
You previously mentioned that the boat is watered to tighten the planking.. do the gaps not reappear when the planks dry again or do they retain the new shape ?

That was more a joke ... but in real it were like this :-)

That's why the boats were never covered with a tarpaulin (?), they were supposed to get wet.

Glad you like it Eamonn.

So, I think the dinghy is ready to call :-)












On board.

Don't just 'Like' it Mate.. I 'Love'i it ! .. Yea, I often see small boats in my local harbour semi-submerged to tighten the timbers .. I actually thought you were going to do the same

Built a small anchor, fiddly stuff ... :-D

I hope I'm not spamming you :-D I've optimised the anchor a little (flukes) and put a small water barrel on board. Maybe a small mast with sail will be added too later :-P

In fact, this is a building phase that is always a lot of fun for me :-)
