(Somehow this one got lost in the ether !  It should come before the one below)

A bit more progress.

This is the main bulkhead which forms the aft part of the dagger board/mast trunk and the forward part of the cockpit:

And theses are the sides of the trunk:

All in 12mm WBP ply. I'm using up some of my workshop offcuts from previous builds and repair work - its surprising how many components fir a small craft like this you can get out of offcuts, which all reduces the cost of the project (not to mention clutter in the workshop !). The frame is going to end up a mix of WBP and Robbins Elite marine ply; the former is more than adequate as the design is explicitly an epoxy/ply sandwich - the latter is overkill in quality terms, but it was lying about in small parts, so .....

I have done more, but not taken the photos yet. There are still quite a few frame components to make before any sort of assembly starts !
