After putting the 2 side deckstringers in I sanded the deck.



I stained the cockpit.





And put some reinforcement for the turnfin.



With this being my first build i also had some beginner faults. There was a gap between the bulkhead and the bottom, i solved them with some small strips.

Hi Jeroen,
looks very good so far Beginner faults are normal and I think nearly every boat will have some faults. I built my Baby Bullet with Jo's contruction kit and when it was finished, the boat was a little bit too long Now my Foo Ling is nearly finished and this boat is also not perfect. But that doesn't matter. We have a lot of fun during the construction and also lot of fun on the water. The fun it's the main thing, not the faults

If it looks like the build is stranded, its not! I just didnt put updates on the forum. Here are some photo's from some of the building stepts.

I made the hatch frame




RC board




Kneeling board and steering board




The top deck, i will put this on end of the day




And i put the coamings on

Hi Juergen,

very nice and clean work. Absolutely great. But...



From whom is this glasses?

Best regards, Kay

Well it is my dad his workplace...
He is getting older.. So we probably have the answer

Top Jeroen,

mooi werk!

Really looking great. When we were building the original full size boats we would the deck in four pieces. The front would be split down the centerline of the boat and continue back about 3 inches past the steering rib. Then both side decks would be fit back to the transom. The reason was to make it easier handling the large pieces of plywood. The early boats in the 1960's and earlier were screwed together with silicon bronze Philips head screws. The later editions were held together with silicon bronze anchor fast nails.

Translation is changing some of my words for instance fast=almost????

As I sad earlyer i put the deck on and did some other things!





The deck on without the hatch



Deck with the hatch



Hatch from the bottom

THe back of the boat fully sanded down



I installed the knee board and steering board, Jurgen is also attached to the board





The holes for the outboarder are also drilled and i put it on for show




The boat is now ready for epoxy paint!
