My scamp

I bought the kit during the pandemic. I’m going to finish in the summer, I just don’t know which year.
A quick note on the water ballast
Changing up how the doubler works for the bottom valve
Finishing the centerboard pin
Redrilled and got the pin inserted and aligned, also finished final details on the board itself
Nearing the end of cleats
Glassing the footwell, almost ready for garboards
Cleats, cleats, and more cleats
Getting cleats glued in all over the boat
Bulkhead 1 & glassing the mastbox
Finish glassing the mastbox and attaching bulkheads 1 and 8
An endless amount of filleting
Lots of bulkhead fillets, but very few screws to be had…
Footwell, centerboard, stem, bulkhead 3 - oh my!
Gluing things up, hopefully in alignment
Mast ramp? What mast ramp?
Dry fitting stem, bulkheads 1 to 3, and puzzling on the mast trunk
Tacking in bulkheads and seat longitudinals
A misaligned centerboard case, now solidly attached to the boat
Making the centerboard case
Don’t make it on the bench kids, make it on the boat itself
Filling in bulkhead 7
Fill in holes in bulkhead 7 for watertight compartments
Trying to go 3 dimensional
Setting up bulkheads for the first time. It doesn’t go well.
