: Do you plan to post photos of the earlier stages of construction?
I have a few photos, but they don't show much other than the basic hull construction. Both boat hulls assembled just as the plans described. I joined the okoume using butt joints and 4oz.e glass before I cut out the panels. Got tired of breaking wires and sticking my fingers with the sharp ends so shifted to using zip ties to complete the assembly of the Cirrus hull. Both hulls are only tack-glued with thickened epoxy at this point. I'm currently planning to paint the hulls white, since visibility is important where we paddle. I'll post more hull shots when I get to that phase.
: How are you attaching the deck to the hull on these two?:
I'll stitch the hull and decks together, then fillet and tape on the inside and tape on the outside.
I'm planning to complete both decks before finishing the hulls so I can use the existing setups as molds while the decks cure. Then I'll use spreaders to hold the decks at their proper width while I complete the hulls.
Thanks for all the good feedback and support, feels like having a team out in that garage.
Jim
