I am keen to make the strip planked cabin top but there are a number of reasons I should wait. First it is much easier to make the cabin top if I have more space and in a few months the other boat will be out so i will have much more space and there is no real hurry to get the top done, and the other reason is that to get the length and shape I want it will be easier to know the exact cockpit layout as the top mirrors the rear seat layout. So I am setting out and gluing in the cockpit furniture this month. I may also get a start on the daggerboards.
