Jonathon,

Yes I have just cut out the first frame for Swallow Mark 2, I will put a picture up tomorrow on the old web site.

I want to know what I should make the transom out off, obviously Swallow was not marine ply so how would they have done it?

Amazon has a long rod to hold the rudder on (thanks Ed for the picture, which also shows the traveller ) But AR in SW talks of gudgeons.

I am alos debating making the keel up from thinner pieces and glue it. What are your thoughts?

I want to build it upside down, seems less daunting, thoughts on the way to do it?

JOhn
