From Graham Rankin: 'Today our faithful crew (or is that faithful few) scraped and planed the
outer wales and prepared the spacers which form part of the inner
wales, ready for glueing up. Gerry was hard at work preparing the
leather for the oars, and work has started on forming up the
breasthooks. This Thursday, the first of our extra work days, will see the skiff turned back over to finish the sanding.' |
