I can not wait to see some pics of the building and launch. Way to go!!!

: Team

: Sorry for the incessant yammering on the progress but we're stitching
: tomarrow after two partial days of work. Yesterday was a relook at all the
: scarf joints and adding matched okoume veneer to make the scarf joints
: disappear on the outside panel peices. This was completed today and we
: then turned our attention to beveling the edges of the panels to ready for
: the assembly of the hull tomorrow in the morning and laying in thickened
: epoxy. I'll be adding a removeable keel and a bow rub strip attachment
: strip into the bottom of the hull complete with S/s t-nuts. At this rate
: we;ll be applying the CF into the hull by Thursday then asemble the deck
: for glassing the day after. More later including lessons learned and
: better ideas.

: As an aside, I'll be coming and going the next few days as I'll be turning my
: house over to the Jensens, a family who lost their home in the recent
: fires. Their in-laws and most friends live back east and they need a place
: to call home till things get settled.
