Sanding

Did a little different jobs today.

Fitted the watertight hatches to the seat fronts.



Repaired a small mistake on the center board case

I managed to cut the forward extension of the case both too short and too high

Since the case is straight and the stringer is curved I had to do a little 3D shaping of the filler pieces

All glued up

Finally I sanded, sanded and sanded the fillets from yesterday, I really hate sanding.....

Time today: 3h

    Is this your first boat? It looks terrific so far. A word of advice: make sure you can reach all of the top corners inside the seats before you put the tops on (for filleting under the seat tops). I had some ... challenges with this on my Navigator build (it all worked out in the end).

    Thanks Wayne! Yes, it is my first build so it looks better at a distance..... Thanks for the tip on the inside of the seats filleting, unfortunately I already know that I will not be able to reach all the corners because of the center board case. So I guess I will just have to apply liberal amounts of glue and hope for the best.

    I have enjoyed your blog and try to follow the same approach as you in the build, "good enough" :)(http://donumvitae.wordpress.com/2011/10/10/whats-in-a-name/)
