Both garboards mounted

It finally got a bit colder tonight so I rushed to the boatshed to glue the second garboard.

Masking the vicinity of glued joints takes a bit of time. While doing it I noticed that lights flicker - there was a thunderstorm above the area. That often leads to no electricity on our island. It would be a catastrophe: with already spread epoxy and half-clamped plank in pitch-dark workshop.

I lighted two storm lights, just to be on the safe side.

Luckily they were not needed.

As always cleaning the squeeze out afterwards took 90% of the time - clamping was easy as I already “trained” that while dry-fitting.

I left the forest of clamps late at night.

Next step, after the glue is cured, will be to cut second halves of mortises and centerboard opening. I’ll probably dry-fit the skeg before continuing with planking.
