You have to be proud of building that beauty.

This is the another photo that I couldn't get to load from Photobucket, it was too big. This one will go on the wall of my study.

Yes, I'm quite proud of what I have come up with. There are a few faults here and there (the bow deck is a little of square, but the hull is nice and straight), but overall I am rapped!

Thanks to all who have assisted and encouraged me on this, I will certainly be a frequent visitor here and look forward to my next build whenever that might be.

Ooops I see you've already answered that question. Anyway, enjoy that boat and catch a big one.

I finished constructing the fibre-glass rudder last night. I just have to give the rudder blade a coat of epoxy to make it all pretty and shiny and it's ready to install. :D

(It's not a JEM design but a modified version of another make.)

Rudder now installed. Just need to install the fittings for the outrigger arms and mast step and she'll be a nice sailor too. :D

How did you make that rudder? Did you lay it up or use something made out of glass?
