The gunwales are taking some work; this is a picture of a ‘breast hook’; the gunwale will be ‘open’, that is we fixed the ‘Out-wale’ so that it caps the last plank (Sheerstrake), then glue spacers along the inside ready to accept the final ‘In-wale’. When fabricated, we plane and sand fair, fix the oar pads (Rouths) and then router round edges on the whole to make it easy on the eye and the hands.
