Chines !

Here I am fitting the first chine. Lots of clamps in use. Chines on the 20' LYS are a little easier to bend than the 16', but it's still a wrestling match.

Transom set up

Here you can see the transom being held in place by a couple of braces, the beam set in place, and the Spanish Windlass used to bring the sides into the transom.

Back to the 20' LYS

Here I have hoisted the topside panels into the air, and am getting them positioned to fasten the other side to the stem. A bit of a wrestling match/balancing act.

My set-up, before the fun started.

Thanks to all who stopped by the booth this week end. It was a pleasure to meet and talk with you. The dory is still available , as is the semi-bare hull 16' LYSS.

Fastening the stem

Now I am starting to put things together. First step is to fasten the stem to one of the side panels.
