The motor in the box is now in the boat. At least the bottom part of it is.
The whole thing is bolted down firmly to the keel. It looks good.

The lining of the main cabin is also completed. We are now ready to get stuck into construction of the forward cabin. We should see some good progress in the next few weeks.

The lining is insulation sandwiched between thin ply and the stringers. Gaps and joins between ply sheets are filled with epoxy then sealed with light fibreglass tape.
