My scamp
I bought the kit during the pandemic. I’m going to finish in the
summer, I just don’t know which year.
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.
Ripping cleats
Don’t rip lumber with a bandsaw. Just don’t.
Bulkhead 3 hatches
Custom large hatch openings for bulkhead 3
Building the jig
I built the jig. I did it too early. I should have waited.
Weighing Down Centerboards and Rudders
Adding weight to the centerboard and rudder and gluing them together
Wait! More Epoxying
There’s always more to coat with epoxy
