Cabin posts

This past week we've been working inside the boat... in between vacuuming and pumping out rainwater.

My goal is to get a cabin roof on this thing, so it will be a bit more practical to keep dry. WIth that in mind (and actually it matches up with the recommended order of building), we've been cutting and installing the cabin side posts.

Each post had to be notched at the bottom (to fit around the chine logs and sides) and then lag bolted to the side deck/sheer clamp. Other than my usual luck (or non-luck) at cutting things to fit tightly, I got them all in place. 

After that, we built a quick jig and form for the roof curve. That was needed to get the side posts cut to the correct height.
