Very very nice and lets take a good look as she may never look this good anain. Now her appearence is not encumbered by all the ugly clutter like hand rails, fenders, masts, anchors and dinghies.
I love the rub rails. They break up an expansive hullside that would otherwise not be as attractive. Well done Matt.
I love the tear drop lines of the big cabin window and how the aft end of cabin lines mirror the window. Again well done Matt.
I love the way the straight lines of the cabin roof, sheer lines, and again those fabulous rub rails all come together radiating great visual strength. The sheer break and transom line top it off. Very well done Matt.
Yup she’s beautiful now.

Yeah she’s a nice size I think. If anything I wish I would have made her 1.5mtrs wider.

Cheers Mate!
So good to see you on again, and that gal is looking mighty fine (although a few small trim aspects in say very light grey, might look even better).
She has great lines. Your effort not to get carried away and keep her clean shows!
Toast one up for ya Buddy.

Parts gathering until my son goes into the Air Force after high school in 2021, so three years and counting. It could happen sooner.
Time to start making my bowrail from templates i struck last year.
Below pics are of my stern railing. It is 1500mm long and will hold my baitboard and rod holders on one side and my Weber Q on the other and secure the tender when underway.

Very nice, your skills are impressive! What did you use to bend the tube for the railing ( long bend)?

Lol yes I guess but I was more thinking of what was used as a guide to get a perfect regular bend 
For tight bend there are tubing bending tools but for this length of a bend I was wondering if he built his own jig or what?

I'll putt my money on Matt's "eye" and floor tracing on what dominated his perfect looking long-bend arc
Along with what RT shows in post 3354!

Pipe bender and just do it by eye and a bit at a time to line up with the template.
