With help from a chain hoist I lifted the 3rd mid-ship element into place over the weekend.
I’m thinking one more 3 section mid-ship chunk will be enough.
Weather is great so I’ll be cutting as much as I can to get this next piece done. I’ll have to extend the scaffolding a bit, but a little more mass will be good. I also think the benefit to oxygen in the boat will be a big plus.
I think the time and wood cost is minimal now that I have this mid-ship thing down. 🙂
