Don't Do This

Got back out to the boat shed today. All I got done was installing the forward trampoline t-nuts.

This took much longer than it should have because of this.

Really hard to get a drill in there to put in the counterbore for the T-nut. I eventually cut the counterbores by robbing a drill chuck off the mill and turning the drill bit by hand. Next time I will install the T-nuts before putting in any of the deck superstructure parts.  Also today I got two 1/4" drifts (cold rolled 316 stainless) to make the mast pins. So tomorrow I can do some mast step work, and start making the "sole" for the forward fender lazarette.  I have been putting the lazarette floor off because it seems like it is going to be tedious, but now it just really needs to get done.
