Other material for a deck can be used and a nice light weight plastic deck could be fitted if you have access to a CNC cutting service in your town.
The rear access above has been beveled, you won't see this when the patches are in place but it gives a nice edge for the patches.
The deck is varnished, about five coats will give it a good seal and shine. Don't forget to varnish the underside too enough to seal it.
I used a lid from a blender jar from the Nutri Bullet range, the top was open which allows a nice wood insert.
The Nutri Bullet jar is about £8.00 but is well made, pitty you have to cut most of it off!
The rest of the deck fittings can now be fitted and the winch set up , this process should take an evening to do.
I've used a slide plate for 14mm groovy mast, the plate is adjustable and available from Sails etc.

As far as the deck and hull are concerned that's the yacht pretty much ready for sailing , just the jib sail to fit.
Although P.J. sails will quote and supply what you need to rig this yacht it is not a kit and you will need to know what your doing regards to building the rig.
P.J. sails will not supply build instructions.
I have included reference photos on the blog and I will support any questions if I can.
