Counter stern fairing, Transom Knees and Bulwark Templating! ***Episode 25***

EPISODE 25
In this episode it is time to finish the epoxy fairing of the counter stern and give it it's final sanding ready for it's first coat of primer.
I also get the next two centre transom knees steam bent and glued up on the former.
Then it's onto the next stage of the build. The Bulwarks.
I begin the task by making some templates using plywood and some tick sticks glued on to mark all my lines off the deck.
And off to the sawmill to collect the Larch i will be using to plank the Bulwarks.
if you enjoyed the video, please give it a thumbs up, it's the best way to help the channel grow!

    Hi Finn I first saw you working with Leo, then found you have your own channel. I have watched all your episodes over the last few days! I have enjoyed every one and am impressed by your painstaking and patient approach to your work. Well done from down under and get a move on! More of the same needed. If I were a bit younger, a bit more sprightly and lived in the same country I might even come and give you a hand or at least an Esky of cold Australian beers. Keep up the great work mate. Bill

    If you use a sweep you can drag the fairing material to almost finished surface. a length of your template ply, with a good edge would do. About 3" wide and slightly longer than your work area.

    Hi Finn Good job. Want to do a trans Atlantic crossing with me? Will have four male crew all expenses paid plus salary. Will sail from La Rochelle at the end of September. Will make many stops until the Canary Islands and then to The Bahamas/Florida. You will have your own en suite cabin and can bring someone if you wish.

    You definitely seem to have got the making of the knees sorted now. Given that there is not a lot of sweep in the sheer (i hope i got that right) would it be possible to edge set the bulwark boards rather than having to template and cut out of larger stock? What are the pros and cons?

    It's a shame that someone painted the bulwark.. I'm just very old school traditional.. if im going to use wood its not going to be painted.. might cover it with clear epoxy so I don't have to always be trying to keep it looking great..
