Well folks,I finally got back to work on the "L". I've got most of the sanding done. In the pic, the two halves have been seperated and the wood has been wet to raise the grain in preparation for the final sanding. The water really brought the wood to life but it also shows a little more snading is needed to get all the glue off. The cockpit recess has been added and I may glue up the coaming after the final sanding so I can glass it all together in one piece.

I ordered the glass and epoxy from US Composits Friday and it arrived Teusday. All packaged very well and intact and the 4oz glass is on a roll - not folded! Now if I can just keep a little momentum going.

Happy Building.

Charles
