Main hull bottom planking (1)
Five hours of work today. We first faired the daggerboard trunk logs to match the bottom curvature. Here's the result after several passes of power plane, surform and sanding board and frequent checkings with a straightedge

and here we are ready to cut the central bottom panel
In the picture above you can also see the two butt blocks to join the three pieces of the bottom planking. The final photo shows the two butt blocks being glued to the central bottom panel.
Total work time to date: 332 hours
