It was time to start on the new deck for Saga. First we laid a couple of 8x4' cardboard sheets on the boat to work out how to juggle the separate pieces we would need to cut out. Templates were marked up on the cardboard sheets. These cardboard templates were then cut out and tessalated onto a couple of expensive Sapele veneered plywood sheet. The outline of the template was then transferred to the plywood and finally the required shapes were cut out. These are just rough cuts over sized by around 10mm. Final trimming will take place later.
