After some long contemplation, I decided that I would Varnish the Hull, With Epifanes . and rather than showing it being sanded and another coat being applied. I would show it after 4 coats have been applied sanding with 400 grit in between coats, and waiting 24 hours between coats . I will do one more coat and she should be ready to go . I will more than likely do a flat white bottom paint with a blue waterline. the slot for the tiller has been cut into the transom. Here are the results

Today, before I finish the final 2 coats of Varnish on the hull, ( I decided to go with a varnished Hull no bottom paint or water line. Kate said you don't want to cover up the wood do you ? she wins ) I started by trimming the deck edge where the Cockpit coaming meets the deck, I then sanded the deck to 400 grit sandpaper ( starting with 220 ) I then applied 2 coats of semi gloss white to the deck . Here are the resultes

Today, before I sand and Varnish the Hull, I decided to add some birch ply to the forward Cockpit bulkhead and the rear deck Cockpit station and stained them a cherry red. I started by laying out the ply using the plans, I then cut them out and glued them in, and then stained them Next I cut out the floor and cut out birch ply for the rear deck. And lastly I cut out the seat benches. Next will be to sand and varnish the Hull. Here are the results
