Struts away!

Since the keel has been connected to the prow and the stern, the boay has been growing on it. And since the ribs have been connected to the keel, the skeleton of the gozzo "Santa Maria del Lauro" has been firmly locked with struts in a stand up position, for an easy construction work.
Now, the moment has come to put up the planking, and after the first planks, the hull must be leaned on one side to set the planks from the keel.

In Michele's simple, deliberate moves, taking the cross off the bow to set it free from the struts, there's the awareness that this is the end of the beginning: from now on, they are not going to work anymore on a wooden frame locked in a boatyard, they are going to finish a boat.
