Flipside again

The flipside of the parts epoxied saturday got their second coat today. This now adds another group of parts to the strakes that are now ready for assembly. I have a little touch up work to do on the transoms, and then the hull stitching can begin. This will involve drilling 1/16" holes at 4 inch intervals along the edges of the strakes and the bottom. The edges are then drawn together with short lengths of copper wire. With the curve in the different pieces, bringing the edges together will form the shape of the hull. Add some internal braces and seats, and a few coats of varnish and- voila! a boat! Total hours 15.25.
