Moving forward on ORCA we've almost completed assembling our center-line and this week we're making the final connection between the forefoot and the stem. This joint will be made in a new and improved way that will work to hold the pieces together while also not allowing for any twist. We are ultimately going to be using all bronze fastenings in ORCA because they hold up best and don't disturb the wood around them the way stainless and galvanized fastenings can but we are going to keep the keel mobile for the rabbiting process before then lifting it into place to start framing and planking.
