Some 10mm thick mahogany slats are epoxied to the 12mm ply panel shaped as the transom as per the original drawings. I have used clamps in a spreader set up to ensure the slats where compressed against each other while the resin set.
After cleaning up and routing the edge with a flush trimming router bit the result was very pleasing for the eye.
This is the last component I need to prepare before starting to assemble the hull. Yesterday I received the stock to make the stringers ( one scarf joint needed per stringer) and today I have ordered the wood for the strongback.
Hull assembly will start in early december after I get back from a two weeks' work deployment at sea .... I simply can't wait!
