I've basically finished stripping the hull; had to 're-do' the bow external stem, as I had a gap. Thankful this medium is so forgiving - simply planed off the old one, and re-glued the strips. Looks pretty good, now! I still have to shave down a bit of the stem, as it wraps around to the keel - to keep the keel lines fair. I've finished sanding, and now it's time to lay out the fiberglass, and get started with the epoxy.

BTW, thanks to Bill H. for the recommendations on FG and sourcing. I'm using RAKA with 350 hardener, anticipate 3.20 on all surfaces with an extra layer over the football and stems, plus some bracing around the cockpit and hatches. Am I forgetting anything?

Looking forward a bit - Yakima footbraces; perhaps a seat from Redfish. Any and all recommendations/comments appreciated!
