    Final pictures. I sanded and yacht varnished the interior again this morning.

    I’m quite content to say it’s done now.

    You will have to post pictures Geord. The epoxy took 4 days to cure on mine and the paint three days.

    Mate I have to see it, knowing your level of woodworking skills it will be tops :thumbsup:

    You have to reduce the picture size I think.

    I made a lifesize model of the Vatican including the pope waving to a crowd of several thousand in an hour. The pics are uploading but it may take a while....

    Although a very well made and nice boat, to say I'm underwhelmed and slightly disappointed may be understating things :(

    I used to do a lot of dinghy racing, Mirrors, Enterprise, Laser etc. Did the RYA courses and qualified as an instructor but I moved away from where my club was and drifted into other things, I certainly don't have your level of skills when it comes to building the things unfortunately.
