Having built the main cabin I have also built the second cabin or the crews quarters, next will be putting the bulwark around the cabins!
But I think that I will measure out where the stations will be located, before I work on the pilot house.

Currently under going a float test, have placed 18 can of vegetables each weighing about 15 oz's.
so far NO ingress, I believe the hull is now sealed.

I've put together the handrails, I decided on just gluing them I don't have the right solder or the patients!
besides that I'm painting them, what color I don't know.
Just have to make the main cabin handrails and the running light back board

The mast there being one far and aft are plain and simple, I will most likely add lights!
The aft mast is't make up yet, this is why there's no picture!

98.5% completed, debating what colors to use, or paint it similar to how she's painted on the box.
Rudder servo in place, just waiting to get all of her running hardware, also looking in to getting working running lights.

Hi Ed
Sure looks good and you are progressing much quicker than my pilot boat. I still have many fiddly things to do like deckhouse furniture and lights.
Best of luck with your forthcoming sea trials.

Having started painting the hull the deck and push pads, I've discovered a breach in the hull that's about 130cm X about 1cm or so!
I'm hoping when I reglue the seam it takes, I'm not sure what to expect next.

I have now reglued the seam lets see how long it holds!
In my opinion the San Pedro's hull should have been molded of two pieces to be joined at the center!
and not out of 8 pieces of 1/8th inch thick plastic. I find that the hull is under stress where the plastic is curved in to place!
