After 9 days of nothing but faring – bog, sanding, bog, sanding, beer, bog, sanding, bog, sanding, beer, cigar……..I have the most of the port side done. The boat is up right for a few days while I make a cradle to hold it upside down so I can fare out the keel, officially join the two halves then lay-up the bottom. Here are few pics of the boat. I’m starting to get excited again! The first pic shows the mast above the boat and shelf sure would look nice mounted on the boat! But I’ve got a lot of work to do yet but I’d guess I’m at the half way mark now. The second picture shows the designed water line. I wonder how real that is. The water line is the mark in the frames that is holding the hull.
