Wa'apa Build - Part 17 (Rudder supports, deck supports, inspection hatch...)

Been working towards getting the ends closed up. Lots of little fiddly bits and slow going...

I've cut holes in side of hull behind bulkhead to take timbers for hanging the rudder(s). They will be glued (and screwed probably) to the bulkhead timber.

Template made for the deck(s).

Then after cutting and trial fitting the deck from 4mm ply, I decided to make a light support framework to stiffen and also help the deck take a nice fair shape.

And cut the hole for inspection hatch...

Still need to finish beveling the gunwales where the deck goes, and repeat this on other hull, and get everything glued up and so on...
