Companionway Framing

The framing for the companionway has now been cut to size and screwed into place. This will, of course be capped with hardwood runners to accept the washboards.

I've also fitted shaped "doubler" sections to the top of the cabin bulkheads. This will add strength and provide a decent area for the coachroof to be screwed to. This was an original feature on the plans, and really quite simple to achieve. I used the bulkhead to mark out the shape onto some ply, cut it out and replicated the camber with a marking gauge.
