UPDATE THREE

|
The first internal bulk head tacked in place. It is located between the engine room and the bathroom. | The bulk head as seen from the boatman's cabin. There will be another one this side of the engine, creating its own room. |
The stern tube offered up (the prop shaft goes through this). | The end of the stern tube as viewed through the weed hatch. |
Hatch for access to the gas bottle chamber. Space for three 19Kg LPG bottles (like the one in the corner of the image). | Left hand side front; rubbing strakes fully welded on. Blue cover to stop the rain getting in because the fore deck is not complete. |
Right hand side rubbing strakes fully welded. They prevent hull damage when entering locks or hitting other boats. | The angle still welded on the rubbing strakes. This is to ensure that the hull did not ripple due to the heat during welding of the strakes. |
