fitted all remaining vents on foc'sle. then anchor cables.
then fitted remaining ladder, discharge/load valve sets port and stbd, bunker connections and fire dampers.
from 5mm plastic pipe and 1.6mm brass rod, made up wire deflectors over bitts. drilled 1.6mm holes in bulwark capping and fixed with cyo.
drilled 88x 0.8mm holes for u-bolts to hold fender chains. when fitting u-bolt found the holes too small so had to re-drill 1mm. plan stated 0.7mm but though i have this drill, hand-drill chuck is too big to hold it.
fitted the bow fender. u-bolts are pushed through the holes and the ends bent over inside hull. very fiddly. tomorrow will complete quarter fenders.
total hours 241.
