Foredeck Trimmed and Ready for Glass

Bow cleats will be cut into what Harry Bryan refers to as buffalo rails (not shown but ready to install after glassing.  Buffalo rails are "taller" than toe rails and will terminate in a false stem (not shown or made yet.)

Hardware set roughly in place, anchor on new bronze chocks, new bronze (souvenir of Mystic) pennant holder and salvaged bronze chain pipe and bow cleat.  
I should be able to access all from a hatch cut into the top front of the cuddy roof.
