Shell progress of June 2012



Here is the engine attached to temporary engine beds, which will shortly be lowered into position on its permanent hardwood beds (which are built transversely according to the Kelvin requirements).


The above picture shows the dollies and rudder stock.  Note the attention to detail on the dollies and the way that they are mounted through the steel work via the small plinth.
  

Above is the renowned Norton Canes rudder stock cap ... or whatever the official name is for it! ... which looks fabulous.



Here is the boat rudder, which is a huge piece of steel but which is balanced superbly ... and it's no coincidence, this is the result of a great deal of boatbuilding experience and skill.  Note also the solid bar section which forms the skeg.
