March 1, 2018 - Adding the Final Layer to the Port Side
The morning was used to cut and place approximately twenty strips of the final layer of veneer on the port side. After lunch we glued perhaps fifteen of those strips to the hull. As before, we employed 3/8" staples and screws with fender washers to clamp the strips in place while the epoxy set up over night.
Additionally, the cover plate for the rudder assembly was drilled for attachment and the fit was finalized. A short slide show follows.
