Bow to the king..... plank!
After days of slow progress today I finally
fitted the teak king plank to the foredeck. What slowed down the progress was the required in situ bending and glueing of the teak strips along the deck. The curved shape meant I could only glue two strips per day, one each side, as clamps were needed to help hold the strips in place and keep the bend as the Epoxy cured. The presence of the clamps prevented in most cases the next neighbouring strip to be glued at the same time.
Anyhow a milestone has been reached today as the king plank was finally laid down onto the deck. Bow to the king.... As the focus now shifts to the coamings....

Teak side decks
The side decks have been successfully dressed with teak strips.... lots of bend and elastic energy but ... in epoxy we trust!
