Cabin sides

Build Day 17
Steve shaping the cabin top

Yesterday we saw Steve cutting the portholes in Yarwood's cabin sides - today the cabin sides forward of the engine stop are in situ.

    How were the large faux rivets made?

    This makes you appreciate the craftsmanship which goes into the steelwork.

    The faux rivets are coach bolts that have been cut and drilled out. They are welded in place and ground.

    Hi Captain
    We have been so impressed by the skill of these men and thoroughly enjoyed watching our boat emerge..
