A hull lot of fun...

How time flies when you're having fun! As expected, fairing the inside of the hull required more work than the outside. The scraper quickly became the tool of choice. My plan is to leave the inside bright, so I finished up with 220 grit sandpaper. I'm using 6 oz. glass, double layered in the middle, as I did on the outside of the hull. 

The 6 oz. glass easily conforms to the hull shape, but one must be careful not to snag or distort the cloth while wetting out.

Three coats of epoxy and we are ready to sand.

The grayish areas in these photos are an illusion caused by the reflection of the as yet unsanded epoxy.

The interior will be finish sanded with 220 grit paper before varnish is applied. 

The  transom looks splendid under the clear finish. Too bad the inside won't be visible after the deck is applied.

One of my goals is to avoid excessive use of epoxy. However, it made sense to use a big fat fillet at the stem. 

While preparing the hull for glass I went ahead and laminated some deck beams, using the formula from Iain Oughtred's book on lapstrake boat building. The camber is four inches. 

At last I can get to work on the interior bracing, mast step, centerboard trunk, sheer cleats, floor, deck, etc....
