Sanding, fairing sanding....repeat

Getting the hull sealed up, little bit more and tape the bottom. I plan on fiberglassing the whole bottom but may have to wait on that as I think it would be safer to do with two. So probably after taping I will flip the boat and work on the inside.



Also getting started on the foils for rudder and daggerboard. Using solid wood for these;

Planking

Making some progress, have the lower and middle planks on both sides.



I did have to stop and make an adjustment on one of the middle planks. The original finger joints were loose and shifted while gluing putting the plank out of shape. Even if I could purchase another sheet to reproduce it, it would mean a 300 mile round trip so instead I patched in a piece of 6mm that I had. Was able to remake the correct shape.
