We have started!
The construction of a strong-back / male mould has started with both Donna and myself involved. We will have it done by the end of the weekend which will hopefully mean we will get some foam sheets on the mould by the end of next weekend which will really give us all a good look at her bottom.
Just putting the stations in place on the mould has given me a good look at where everything will be and how far from here to there etc. The cabin is going to be HUGE and the cockpit is strangely a long way back but still about the same length Shazza had from vague memory. Anyway, this girl is going to be a lot more user-friendly for over-night cruise options while being quicker than her little sister was.

Donna marking out the station shapes to be cut and screwed onto the strong-back. As you can see the strong-back is on castor wheels so we can move it around as needed. You will have noticed that we have a distinct lack of space for building......She'll be right mate, we'll get her sorted!
Altering all the lines Donna has just drawn from the standard station shapes,
lots of seat of the pants (guessing) lofting.
Every pirate needs a bird---this one even Bites!
