A Little More Progress

I was able to trace a fairly accurate outline of the breasthook using what is left of the old one.
From that I was able to fashion a replacement.  CLC Boats sells scraps of wood for various projects and they were able to find me some of the right size to make this from.
The pieces I steam-bent will fit very well.  They are actually a little too curved in spots but that will be easily dealt with.
Here the steam-bent stringers have been screwed to the breasthook so I could cut the ends.  Ready for glue-up!
Screwed together and glued.  Next I need to figure out the best way to separate the old stringers from the hull--probably rout them off.  Then I can glue the replacement stringers and breasthook in place.
