Michelle


People say "One day all your dreams will come true". Bloody hope not, otherwise I really will be naked in the queue at Tesco.



The shell is now taking shape. Apparently it is unlucky to rename a boat, so I am resisting the urge to call it Michelle at the moment.



It is amazing to see how quickly a 10mm sheet of steel floor turns into a hull. Right at the moment the boat looks huge, although I'm not used to seeing them out of the water, so it is a lot taller.


I must also say that I am impressed by the techniques used to create quite a complex shape from sheet steel. Now I have something to see, I can start thinking about how to use every single cubic inch of space within the shell.
