After getting the interior taped and filleted it was time to flip the boat again to finish up the hull.

After some more fairing I fully glassed the bottom and lower panel.



 Then put the skeg together
At the same time I steam bent the bow trim


 Laminating them in place



 Also putting up the rudder blocks by putting them on a jig to make sure of distance and angle


Once in place everything was filleted. I also have decided to glass cloth the skeg for further protection.

Doing my filleting was made easier by being able to angle the boat \.


Pre-coating seat panels, but will be fairing out the hull before flipping again.

After a little more filling and fairing along with taping the bottom panel



It was time to flip the boat. Using a couple of blocks hanging from the joists it went pretty easily. Now the filleting of the frames can be done easily by manipulating the angle of the boat while working on it.


Also have the Daggerboard and Rudder foils fairly well shaped using a belt sander for rough shape and finishing by hand.



And just a couple of more shots showing that the shop is getting a workout and the mess is building.
