Fitting the keel
This week while I was still in Austria my collegues finished the keel.

The holes for the bronzebolts were drilled and
the keel was glued on.

As mentioned some weeks before, I wanted to leave the sheerblank bright finished. Therefore I has bought special radialcut Sapele-veneered plywood. But as we didn't get the scarfs as perfect I wanted them to be, I decided to put some Kaya-veneers onto the sheerplanks to make it look better. On Tuesday and Friday my friends 'cold moulded' the Kaya-veneer onto the existing sheerplank to get her even prettier as she already is.

I got back to Lyme on Saturday and was happy, that my friends had given me a hand while I was off although it has been a horrible job, as I was informed later.
