Ive now started to glue the deck, my plan is to finish gluing the top deck trim it and then to fill from the sides with expanding foam. I have tested some of the foam bettween some scraps of timber and it seems quite solid and sticks to the wood very well. this is where i have got to so far, can't wait to get this thing finished and go down to the bay, i live in the uk in a town called bridport in dorset. I will also be trying it down at fistral in newquay. Attachments:

Looks great simonz!
Thanks for sharing all those photo's! Doesn't look like it will be long before you can launch it!
Any guess's on the weight when completed?

Not sure hopefully not to heavy as soon as i get the top deck on i will have more of an idea. I dont think the foam will weigh much, hopefully.
