The rear seats
First we built the rear seats which will also be storage compartments
before making catches with bungee cord
We put the front into the back to nest it (it fits!)
we then glass clothed the bottom
before putting everything together on our upturned workmates to see how it looks.

Present day...
As you can see it is only a little boat so we have decided we need something a little bit bigger, possibly with a sail, that is not to big to store, can fit the whole family and can earn Daniel cub scout badges and his little brother Ryan beaver scout badges (maybe for swimming?). So a quick trip to B&Q for some plywood down to south shields to East Coast Fibreglass Supplies for you gussed it (the lads there are very helpful and polite) then to premier healthcare for gloves tongue depressors polythene measuring beakers ect before locking Ourselves up in the garage to play with bits of wood!
