Vaka bottom fairing done

Four hours between yesterday and today. We completed the fairing of the vaka chines. Here are two photos that show where we are now. Here is the bottom forward

and here is the daggerboard slot

We also filled several screw holes with thickened resin

We're ready to glass the bottom now. So we had to face the problem of tracing the waterline. The waterline is not parallel to the sheer: the freeboard is almost 16 cm larger at the stem than at the stern. The plans though show two different drafts: one number written on the boat specs is 11 inches (28 cm) but there's another value of 1.17 feet in the lines plan (about 36 cm). I'll ask John Marples about that. We'll need a laser level to trace the line...

Total work time to date: 353 hours
