Planning the area under the bow spirit

When planning the area under the bow spirit, it soon became obvious that something was not right.

Despite following the plans to 0.05mm tolerance, the anchor davit required re-positioning 6mm closer to the bow.  This meant re building the effected bulwarks, including linings.  The anchor davits also had to be slightly shortened.  Frustration set in.

After checking and re-checking that this re-work could not be avoided, it became clear this was a bullet that had to be bitten.

Around 4 hours were spent re-doing this work, but at the end I was happy with the result and glad I decided to go ahead.
