Day7. Everything gets stitched together with copper wire, epoxied then stitches are removed
Day 8. Some more straightening/tighten ties. Transom tied in. Spot bead epoxy in prep of removing copper ties. Hopefully it all holds together!
Day 9(should ack that doing about 2-3 hours work each day). Removed ties, everything held together! Filet the joints inside. Fiberglasses two samples of cloth to see which I liked best for decorating deck later on. Kuna pattern left, Samoa turtle pattern right .
Unthickened epoxy the entire inside today. Day 10!
Stringers and nose block installed. Last chance to fill in gaps with thickened epoxy before deck goes on.
Pulled a couple ties on the stringers, cut and epoxied support pieces for carry handle . Transom cedar strips epoxied together.
