It's begun!
I finally got a proper start on my Star 45 build.
Today I built a strongback for the frames, installed the alignment strips, and got the frames plugged in.
Epoxy coated the limber holes and the two sheets that make up the radio tray, as well as some of the other places that will be trickier to get to with the epoxy later on.
Also, I'm trying to make a Construction Manual for the Star 45 that others can use as a guide. This is my first Star 45 build and I have had loads of questions about the steps and such. I thought that if I could make the start of an instruction manual, or set of directions, that it might help others too. And hopefully I can get some of the more experienced people to help add to it and edit it. We'll see!
This is going to be a loooong slow process with many fits and starts. But in the end I hope to have a great boat and perhaps a construction manual for others.
Happy seas!
