Decking installed ready for first sand and trimming the bulwark.
Upper Cabin shell made and funnels cut into place.
Lots more to do but it’s taking shape I think

Started work on the paddle boxes now that the upper deck position is fully established.
Cut out the paddle box fronts and backs, and milled the slots in the front panels. The bars between the slots are understandably flexible at this stage, so these will be strengthened as part of the next step.

I’ve also begun forming the paddle‑box steps. Each step is being made individually so they can be trimmed and adjusted to ensure the final overall height aligns precisely with the upper‑deck step.
