Got some key things accomplished on the “you know what” this weekend. They are:
- trimmed the shear back 1/4″ for a sliver of ash to cover the ply edge.
- cut, planed, shaped and sanded the boom kin.
- attached stems and keel. Shaped both.
- watched the Redskins choke again.
So, here are some photos.

Oh, I also ordered filler for final fairing, primer, and paint. I’m dying to roll the boat over, but I’d like to get a coat of paint on while she is secured to the moulds. Much to do before that happens. C’est tout.
