Sorry for the incessant yammering on the progress but we're stitching tomarrow after two partial days of work. Yesterday was a relook at all the scarf joints and adding matched okoume veneer to make the scarf joints disappear on the outside panel peices. This was completed today and we then turned our attention to beveling the edges of the panels to ready for the assembly of the hull tomorrow in the morning and laying in thickened epoxy. I'll be adding a removeable keel and a bow rub strip attachment strip into the bottom of the hull complete with S/s t-nuts. At this rate we;ll be applying the CF into the hull by Thursday then asemble the deck for glassing the day after. More later including lessons learned and better ideas.

As an aside, I'll be coming and going the next few days as I'll be turning my house over to the Jensens, a family who lost their home in the recent fires. Their in-laws and most friends live back east and they need a place to call home till things get settled.
