Thank You, Cap'n'Bob, I am pleased with how the Hull turned out, I decided this morning that I will seal her up with West System epoxy. This way she could still be Sailed ( I like that idea ) Best Regards, Pete

Today, I got an early start. And started by using a wood filler to fill in some of the low spots and the rabbet line at the stern post. I then sanded the Hull up to 600 grit Sandpaper. The Fairing of the Hull is now complete. Next will be to Stain the Transom ( Cherry Red ) and seal up the Hull with a coat or 2 of Epifanes Varnish, Then she can be removed from the Building Jig. Here are the results

I actually got started last night, with the completion of the planking. I woke this morning and finished installing all the custom planks. I then started Fairing the Hull, at this point I wished that I had increased the Scale of the Boat to 1" = 1' - 0". I had originally planned to West System the Hull so that she could be Sailed like the first one. ( the second one was built static ). So I Faired the hull starting with 180 grit Sandpaper working my way up to 320 grit Sandpaper. I then went to Kinkos Copies and Scaled the Drawing to 1" = 1' - 0" ( this will give me the opportunity to make her into a Radio Controlled version) along with some more details. Next on this one will be fo finalize Fairing the Hull. Staining the Transom and deciding if I am going to just build her Static. In the first photo you can see the scale difference between 3/4" and 1" to the foot. I am very pleased with how the Boat is turning out this far. here are the results

Thanks, Mark, When I take the planks out of the Alcohol, I start bending them right away along with any twist it may have, I then lay it on the Frames and adjust the fit accordingly, Then I glue it up, it takes some trial and error and sometimes the wood does not want to bend the way you want it to, ( it's best to then grab another stick of wood ) Best Regards, Pete
