Gluing up the first of three deck beams for Mai Star II

Having made up the jig over the weekend it is now time to glue up three deck beams for Mai Star II's foredeck.


These deck beams are over length so that they can be made to fit in any of the three position that these deck beams have to be put on top of the beam shelf. 


Two of the deck beams are the deck beams either side of the mast deck plate. 


The deck plate was in the position when the mast was keel stepped. 

Although, it has not been used to step the mast through deck for many years, we are still thinking that the mast may be keel stepped again, we have not decided which we are going to do as yet. 


One down two more to go.
