The dagger-board case was never finished.
I am installing a cap on the dagger-board case and should have that work done (save the varnishing) tomorrow.
The photo also shows the 'damage' done by my 'training wheels' - sand bags on either side of the case as ballast. Water held in place by the sandbags deteriorated the varnish/epoxy finish. This will be sanded, coated with epoxy and varnished.
Frame No. 2 has separated from the hull on the starboard side.
I will sand/grind it out, inject epoxy into the separation and clamp the joint. It will be coated with epoxy and finished with varnish.
An inspection plate will be installed in the foredeck, which has been sanded and readied for epoxy and subsequently finished with varnish.
The oars will be sanded (enough for the new varnish to adhere) and leathers will be installed. No photos of the oars as yet but when they are done, I'll post photos.

Where have you been?! What is up!?
Well, hell, I've been here all along! Just been busy with the new build... Of course, one cannot ignore the needs of those built before... hence the update.
I plan to share Karen Ann's sailing adventures in Les Cheneaux Islands.
Those oars look excellent.
Planning on making a set for my boat, although it's not really designed to be rowed!
