Just a quick update tonight. Sorry for the brevity, but lots of things were covered up before I could photograph them! Aargh!
We've put a little nicer frame for the tarp, so now we can work on the boat in any weather. Aahh. Nice.
Last Friday we canvassed the hull, so it looks strangely blank.
There's lots of sanding dust all over everything because after canvassing, we got back to the last stages of fairing the hull before painting.
White dust everywhere.
The bow fitting has been fashioned and installed.
No more worries about that knife edge bow. This piece looks pretty slick.
And lastly, since the ballast keel has been bolted on, it's time to fair the small section of deadwood between the ballast and keel.
We used a combination of power planers (for the bulk of stock removal) and hand planes.
Next up: we're working out a system for attaching the rudder.
Sorry this is so short... more after Thursday.
