Interesting week in boat building. I found the simplest way to cut off the feet of my cockpit frame. Just stick it in your ceiling fan. No kidding. I forgot about the ceiling fan on my patio and chopped the things clean off, about 3 inches too short though. I'll find a way to reinforce the forward 2 inches.
I finally got the exterior of the hull glued up. I had to flip the boat over a couple of times to do the bow and stern. I was thinking about how to mount the rudder when I build one, then realized that I had already built the mount. I just cut a chunk off of the stern forming jig and glued it in.
I had to flip and tack the bow and stern from the inside
With the same batch of glue I filled all the gaps on the rest of the hull. When that dried I pulled the jigs and finished glueing the bow and stern.
When building a boat outdoors in houston this is the most important tool:
I can't decide if I want to build a rudder or a retractable skeg, but here is where I'll mount it:
Tomorrow I'll put on a couple of graphics and glass the hull.
