Wemyss skiff update
Last section of last plank in place; just need to fit the Keel, Stem and Stern pieces, clean it all up and then turn her over. About half way now.

12/12/2019; 2nd planks in place. Quite cold in the workshop today; I hope the epoxy sets. Note the cable ties used to hold the plank gains; Mark’s idea and it works well.
