Snow stops play for a few days?

This is the scene I wake up to this morning and the roads are not much better. The drive to work is not good either.


So it is going to be a day working in the home office and sort out some admin 

So as soon as this cold weather goes, it will be all hands to the planes and sandpaper to get the work done down at the yard and workshop and get the boats ready for Easter

A good Monday with the Mai-Star Class dinghy

Today was a good day with the dinghy coming off its trailer 


The being turned over to have its aft piece of skeg fitted and the bilge runners fitted 


Checking the plans to take the masurenements for the centreboard slot 


Then cutting the slot in the hog/keel 



Then today putting the dinghy back on its building stocks and fixing it down to the building stocks through the slot while the team gets on with fitting out the inside of the hull with the seat stringers and the double rubbing strakes and then fitting the seats and thwats and the mast step and mast thwart just for starters.
