2nd Karo will hit the water on friday.

Today the deck was glued on. The keel was properly aligned. Using the keel for reference the two pivot holes were glued in( at 5 degree rake) and finally the rudder tube was aligned and glued with epoxy(deck was glued with super glue).
The alignment took me alot of time, as it is super-hard to align everything in the deep hull, so if any more Karos are going to be build, a keel-mast box will be introduced, and everything will be glued together on a jig, that way, time will be saved and proper alignment will be achieved easily.
Overall i am happy  with this boat, tho only two grams have been saved with a different deck frame.
 Now it's time to fight the porosion holes.
here are some photos of the boat:
