Boatbuilding skills, black locust and the galley is started - SV Tapatya EP110

Building a cruising sailboat The hatch turtle is in place and the upper washboard is just about finished. I make a start on the galley worktops and cupboards, fitting the sinks and thinking about the fresh and salt water pumps and the water spouts/taps/faucets.

The boat is constructed of exterior quality plywood, sealed with epooxy and sheathed in glass fibre and epoxy. One of the great beauties of these boats is that the ballast keel is fitted towards the end of the build, enabling the boat to be kept lower in the shed for most of the construction time. The keel and rudder are fitted shortly before launch. Thank you! Tony
