<<<<< BUILDING THE GLOUCESTER GULL LIGHT DORY PART (4) >>>>>

The side panels are now glued in place, and I have dry fitted one of the gunwales. I did this with the gunwale for my peace of mind even though it was a bit of a mission bending them around the molds. But thank goodness, despite the hard bend, this gunwale dry fit went reasonably quickly and smoothly. I will slightly taper the gunwales at both ends which will make them even easier to fit when the time comes. So, next job is leveling up the bottom of the chines, trimming the bottom of the plywood side panels where required and fitting the bottom panel.
