With 100 days remaining until launch, the crew at the shop is focusing on final interior joinery, electrical systems, and hull fairing for the wooden boat. Work on the interior includes installing cherry, oak, and cedar burl drawer fronts, fabricating cherry grab rails for the housetop, and finishing varnish on hatches and tables.2:25 Electrical progress involves mounting a Garmin navigation suite, including a plotter and radio, with a cable management strategy designed to accommodate a folding panel.15:30 To address limited space, the team fabricated a custom mount for a bilge float switch under the mast step.3:24 Exterior tasks include plugging ballast keel bolt pockets with locust wood and dolphinite, and rough-fairing the hull using a power planer and angle grinder to prepare for future caulking.16:58 Cold weather currently restricts the use of epoxy and bedding compounds, delaying the final installation of hatches and deck components until temperatures consistently exceed 40 degrees.16:18 The project remains on track for a June 17th launch date.0:51
