15) At last

At last a positive step forward. The painting of the inside of the hull is finished, and the mast support (forward thwart) is in place and the is glue hardening overnight. I couldn't resist taking a pic with the mast in place - looks something like a proper boat at last. I'll post details of the fixing of the thwart later; but for now, in the words of the execrable Maggie, "Rejoice!"
