First Sanding

The first sanding always sets the tone for the rest of the build. Questions like, how do the joints look? Are the curves fair? Will I need to chop off the stems and replace with solid wood?

After the sanding process i did stain the hull with some Early American stain by Minwax to see if it would blend in with the epoxy mess that you can see on the joints. It did turn out blotchy, so we are still on for a paint job. The hull is now ready for fiberglass and I hope to get that done sometime this week.

4 more hours added to the project. That brings us up to 47.
