And relax

The last job to do before taking up the lofting boards was to develop the stem sections. This makes for the most fabulously confused drawing:

All that just to find out at what angle the planking meets the stem.
Ive cut all the boards into manageable pieces and got rid of the excess. I dont need the diagonals anymore but am loathe to skip  them. The transom, stem and body plan now take pride of place in the study. Over the next few months Ill draw in the reduction for planking and make plywood templates for the moulds.
The pace will slacken again as GCSEs and A Levels take priority in the new school year but the thought of cutting the transom and carving the boats name will keep me coming back to the loftings.
