Again, my trusty G - gramps come into their own for part of the job as have some big blocks of fire wood which are keeping the ribs in contact with the bottom of the dinghy. I counted my G - gramps the other day and found I had 26 - which for some jobs is still not enough!
For subsequent laminations a staple gun will make it easier to fasten them in place and to keep pressure on the glue.

Hi Alden,
Nice job you are doing. The dinghy will be better than original.
You can also put a sail on it.
Thanks Ben. I certainly hope that the hull will be a lot stronger and more robust when I have finished this renovation work.
I have thought about putting a sail on it but that would require constructing a centreboard case, centreboard, rudder, mast etc - but it's a good idea. I think she would sail quite well.
