G'day folks
We started work on the inshore boat build. I designed it in a CAD program called Hulls which I downloaded from Carlsen. The build started out as a 4.6m boat with a max beam of 1.6m. We cut out the ply and stitched her together and damn she was big, too big for what I had in mind. So took her apart again and lopped 60cm of the back and narrowed 5cm from each floor panel and 10cm from each side panel. Was lucky to have good help in form of a fellow fisho and my mrs
Salesh aka Lambu (tall) cutting up the binding wire

Stitching

Stopping work to pose for the camera

Cant get good help these days
Nah just kidding, Lambu bwoy was awesome help. We managed to recut all the ply and finish most of the stitching in one afternoon

Been called a thug before!

More posing

Here she is, still more stitches left in the bow flare area
