    Your welcome Jay , About the Seats it's a optical illusion due to different curves and shadows ( I could see what you were seeing as well )the seat's are actually flat . heres another shot , look on the port side where the seat meets the bulkhead , and then you can see the shadow effect on the starboard side . pretty cool effect though. Thank you Geoff , I appreciate it Best Regards, Pete

    Today, I started by laying out the deck . I then cut the deck out and installed it, After that I faired the deck in with the Hull. Next I cut the frames to match the deck line,( as they would have been to fragile to cut in the begining ) I then started to make templates for the cockpit seats, floor, and rear seat. I am pleased with how she is starting to come together, and starting to look more like the 12 1/2 . Here are the results

    After looking at the boat last night, I realized that the fairing was not complete. So I started the day by cutting in the Sheer , then spent about 5 hours completing the fairing of the hull . Now it looks more like Capn' Nate's 12 1/2 . This taught me that I will need to re loft my Profile drawing. here are the results

Then I did more Fairing on the Hull. ( fairing is just about finished ) Next will be to epoxy the inside of the Hull , with West System .( this way I have the option to Sail Her) here are the results

    Today, I started by fixing the Cockpit Coamings there were a few high spots that needed to be sanded . I then applied another coat of stain on them.( I am glad that I added the 2and coat ) While the Coamings were drying, I turned my attention to the Rudder, and Making the Tiller. I first cut some 3/32" birch ply to match the top of the Rudder, I then cut out the slot for wich the tiller goes in , Then glued the ply to the top on both sides of the Rudder, This then gave me the 1 1/2 " ( Scale) square in wich the Tiller fits. I then cut my 1 1/2" ( Scale) square stock to length. I then shaped it so that it has the ball end , I then soaked it in rubbing alcohol and bent the curve in . Here are the results . I used my sanding block to hold the rudder in position for the pics, Next will be to shape the Rudder Blade below the waterline
