This week is the last workshop before the first race of the new season on Easter Sunday, so the pressure is on in particular for Brian and Stephen, who are determined to finish their boats in time for the race. Marianne is almost ready to fill her hollowed-out hull with expanding foam, and Cathal is not far behind in the gouging. Brian is now ready to fit his deck, going without the foam, and Stephen is fitting the keel that Loughie cut for him. Meanwhile, Douglas is cutting more keels for the other boats. Roll on the first race!
