Joe's Great Auk
My Chesapeake 17 Project
(Ch17 photos badly need updating - the coaming is on and it's being sanded in prep for varnish)
2 pics of the deck, not yet trimmed. You can see where the fore and aft pieces don't line up at the cockpit. That's where a little bit of the sheer clamp is exposed and I'll have to fill in.
Modified footbrace rail
Here are some pictures: (click on the picture for a larger view)
Gluing the sheerclamps
Bottom panels after gluing
Gluing a sheerclamp to side panel
Bottom panels stitched together (not yet "unfolded")
Side and bottom panels being stitched together
Hull stitched and awaiting fillets
Fillets/tape completed. Bulkheads are installed in the hull.
See top of page for latest pictures. Deck is on and hull is glassed. (So much for keeping the page updated during construction :-)
