Still cold, and walking still difficult, so good time for boat work.

The gunwales, or rub strakes, or rub-rails, consisting of three-quarter by one-and-a-half oak, were dry fit. It’s a hard and difficult two-directional bend, but doable, without steaming. Glueing them in will be a two-person job, however.

Then, time for a little decoration. The boat will be painted white, with varnished trim.
