Last post of 2012

Well, another year has come and gone ... I've gotten a lot of work accomplished on her this years.
Currently I'm back to making saftey rail stantion bases.  I'm making 24 of them for the deck.  Don't need that many but since I have the steel and I'm doing it anyway I thought I'd make some extra.
I've also getting my spare engine and transmission ready to sell.
It doesn't stay warm for many hours during the day so I don't get a lot of work done in the winter months.
See you all next year.

Nav center bulkhead

Today I glassed in the last remaining bulkhead.  It separates the navigation center and the aft/stbd quarter, which instead of a berth I've designated my workshop.  I widened the nav center to chart width, which reduced the berth area.  Also, I don't plan on carrying that many crew and I'd rather have a workshop than a spare berth.
It look great and gives definition.  Tomorrow I'll insulate the area.
The next phase I'll need to buy another sheet of 3/4" plywood for starting the lower dividers of the stbd settee / water tank; and the drawer / work top of the nav center.
