Skinning an X *Pic*

After setting myself back (again!), I finally got X covered with dacron. I attempted to color it at one point and had to remove the deck and start over :( It really was awful! I'm getting close and hope to splash this thing soon! Also tried a Vaclav coaming as shown below (Thanks Ross). Don't know if I did it right. I ordered the One Ocean manual, but it hadn't arrived before I needed to get going, so I studied Ross's and Spidey's pages to give it a try. Looks good so far. A bit unusual for a skin boat, but this is a test platform for me and I would like to use the Vaclav on my stripper versions. Let's see, at the rate I'm going, that may be sometime in 2004 ....
