Cabin sole build continues

Beautiful weather today so I took a day off to work on the boat.

Since winter is already here I top-charged boat batteries, to protect them from freezing.

Re-circulated oil - seems I need to add additional 5 litres already.

Then I continued measuring and cutting cabin sole boards. With new joggle stick the work proceeded much faster.

At the end of the day I had all main boards cut. Some of them are still a bit proud - leaning on freeboard rather than just touching it - but that will be adjusted after final assembly.
I continue now with boards around mast foot and further into fo’c’sle. Next step will be cutting filling boards - narrow pieces between main boards, leaning against frames. For that I will use old mahogany pieces left after demolition of the old sole’s ceiling.
Alternatively I think about making these from rubber - to get a good grip on otherwise smooth floor.

It’s always stunning how much time it takes to properly fit work pieces and how small effect in the end of the day this is.

Anyway - new cabin floor should be more stable and make the interior look better so it’s worth the extra effort to fit all bits properly.
