It's best not to keep tally, otherwise you put yourself off. :-)

On hull materials alone

150 sq mtrs of 3mm agba
£1200 worth of sappele
155 KG of west epoxy
9 KG of west fillers
10 sheets of marine ply
Approximately 500 silicone bronze screws
5 staple guns
4000 staples
100 sanding discs
About £2000 on hired help

And that is what I can remember. Not all of the materials have been used yet. I should have enough to complete most of the work, but this doesn’t take in to account tools that have been purchased.

I have been having fun and games for the last two weeks trying to get the sheer line right. This is the last time you will see it this way up for a wile. I am tuning it over this week.

Hi Terry, the picture you posted on picasa above the last two pics really gives a very distorted view, and unless one knew it was the same boat, it would be hard to believe. Totally justifying your 'teaser' comment.
It looks to be a brilliant job so far, and hope you can retain the drive to completion. Good luck with it.
