Day 28 Finishing Fairbody II

Just had a couple of hours to work after we had a bunch of camp counselors over for the weekend from my daughter's summer camp. Kids sleeping all over the place... Several were interested in the boat. We really should have more wooden boat courses for young folks. What happened to the 60's where there was a plywood boat being built in every garage on the block?

I installed the second 1/4" panel and it went on perfectly. Today I'll fillet and tape the seams. One of my scarfs came out just right, nice and flat. The other had the panel riding up just a bit so it's high. A few minutes with the grinder and some fairing putty will fix that. I still like it better though when they come out flat.

Tomorrow I'll fillet and tape the chine shelf forward and tape the fairbody forward as well. My son comes home from college tonight, just in time to help me wrestle the side panels into place later this week. ;-)
