Not yet, there will be when the ww hull is painted, hopefully soon.  It looks the same as mine (see Solitarry 2 in Files section).  Lw hull looks a whole lot better than mine, but is built the same way.   Next step is putting in the bulkheads, bearings and removable ends before closing the deck join.


Mine will not be in the water before the pro built one, which "should" be launched by Xmas.  Could be a whole lot quicker, but the builder is doing it for a fixed price, so is not working on it as often as he could.
