Stern looks.

Back to the boat, I've been sidetracked with talk of bikes and bargains.

Chris came over on Friday and we took on the challenge of constructing the Sternpost. It was not straightforward as the parts list had us buying a piece of wood that was just too narrow to follow the plans. We are now confident enough to take these challenges in our stride.

The picture to the right shows the three pieces of wood, glued and ready to be cut. If you look closely, you can see the shape of a sternpost drawn onto them. Experience has shown that while my skills with a jigsaw are good, they are not quite good enough to cut a straight and true line in at 28mm block of Fijian Kauri. Does anyone have a band-saw ?

When we get one (a band saw), we'll cut this strange bit of geometry into something resembling a stern post.
