Hey All,
Spent a few days working on Ranee. Got a couple of planks fitted. Had to scarf the one one under the stringer because the stringer was already installed, making a butt block rather difficult. It all turned out ok, even though my spiling was slightly out on the first plank (out of practice). A little edge set and she went in.
Pulled the stern tube out (the threads are chooched). I will probably replace it with a fibreglass one. I'm not sure whether to leave it out until after the boat is launched, then install it later so when the timber swells it doesn't split.
Fitted the first transom plank. I hope it doesn't leak. So many angles/joints to get right.
