Hi Gayle,
I have taken the hull out of work shop and attached it to the keel and all went to plan. All inside bulkheads are installed and the cabin sides and top are fitted and fibreglassed. I am putting on the shear caps and hope the have the hatches and portlights fitted before the winter. Thank You for all your help in the past.
The day has finally arrived and my "James Cook" was launched. All went well with the launch on 3rd May 2008 with great support from my family and friends. The boat was well admired by many. I am sending some photos but we have yet to do some proper sea trials, and will send on more information when we have.
Thanks to all at Glen-L for all the support over the years. |
