Fitting of Sponstons and bulwarks
After cutting the hull free from the former using the prepared slots sanded the top of the frames, etc . I made up two sponsons for the paddle and secured them to the side of the hull using blocks and brackets. My attention then turned to fitting the bulwarks. Using strips of lime I bent one piece round a former to form the stern. It was softened using hot water. Clamped to former and allowed to dry. This was then glued and pinned to the hull. Note:- When planking I allowed for a space below deck level to allow the bulwarks to secured to the deck edge. The foredeck bulwarks were easier due to the curves of hull.
I coated the interior of the hull with isopon epoxy resin to waterproof the interior and to strengthen the hull.
