17 April 2010: Done closing up those corners.

(Motors removed.)

The rear has been flowcoated in the meantime - pics will be posted next week.  Going to put a lot of work in tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday before the Crusaders beat the Bulls and the Stormers the Waratahs. 

In the meantime, the snoek arrived all over the West Coast and the boat's not finished yet...

Thanks for the interest shown, Siegfried and Mmatthew.  I have lots of pics to add but they're bigger than 2MB.  I've cropped the pics taken with a decent camera, but they remain too big.  So, I'll continue to post poorer quality pics taken with a camera phone.

Download VSO image resizer to your PC ! Small program for free and works like a charm !

Thanks, I'll have a look at it.

Just highlight your HD pics and right click send to Mail recipient and it will ask you if you want to make the pics smaller ... say yes then highlight them in the open mail and save as ... sounds technical but very simple ...

I tried your suggestion - nfnblvbl!

7 May 2010: That "wasbak" viewed from inside the boat.

(That low partition is crucial to the skipper and the 1st mate's lines from tangling, but the snoek guys already knew that.)
