Episode 96 is live today.

It barely seems possible that 100 is just around the corner.

It is a superb project, and the fact that in two years he has got to fitting the final external plank is incredible. Hats off to all who have supported the project.

Teak covering boards and yellow cedar deck.

I've always heard of decks being swept rather than sprung, seems to me with wooden boats that each piece has 3 different names!

Still looks like 2 years to go.

Yes! Huge lumps of teak.

I'm sure Greta will be very cross with me for saying this, but just a few teak trees so we can have nice decks on our Fairey boats.. is it that bad? Perhaps I could offset a little with some hedging at the bottom of the garden.

Fascinating video on stability.

Great progress too, possibly less than 2 years to go.

I'm staggered by the standard of workmanship on those teak margin boards and king planks.

And just look at those chunks of teak!
