Looks very accurate, Kim. I like the window cut outs.

I prefer working on the hull to 'topping out'. It's nice to see it growing before your very eyes.

Doesn't look like in a cold damp garden shed to me!

Looking like some very good progress there Kim.   

Silly question but why the brass stem?

PEE WEE

I always build my hulls with a brass strip fibre glassed in.
I'm not the best of captains and always end up with a bow dunch!
Now theres a good geordie word for a bump or what we in the trade would call - a heavy alongside.

Seriously, its always the bow that comes off worst in the handling, hence the reinforcement
