Things got a kick-start since the package came. I thought it was easier to fit these hatches without deck on, so I waited with that. For some reason I also waited with fitting the cenrtecase top, and with giving the bottom, and other small parts a final coat of varnish. Getting a good round hole for the hatches was tricky, but finally I got it done, by wrapping and fixing some sanding paper (grit 50) to the drill.

Fitting the foredeck. Had to find all the heavy stuff in the house. The wine bottles are re-filled with water, the blue crate is filled with groceries, there's a bucket of water, the wood bit presses down from the ceiling, this was an exciting glue job. Don't forget to fit and try it first before making the final run.

Deck on, now the deck on the stern.
