A couple more done. Will have to strap the hull up and pull in the sides as I think I've lost some shape. All frames were cut fairly fat but I still have gaps at the ends. I may have to do one frame again as it didn't come up right after piecing three broken bits together.

That's frustrating Craig. I had similar issues with my CC.

Todays lesson. Mini belt sanders are brutal, let alone any other sander. One must not lean on it like a 9" angle grinder.
Twigged on my issue with one frame not being quite right. I mounted it in backwards................................nothing to see here, move along.
Checked in the new vertical ribs (if that's what you call them) where the hull had been belted in the side by a car, apparently.

Nup, it was a Bunnings special. I won't be doing this job again, so no need for it ever after this.............................

Not much today. Ripped down a new keel board and fitted it temp so I can adjust frames, scarf joining angles, and set heights. Pretty happy I haven't lost or gained length with flex in the hull. Old to new spot on fit lengthwise.

That's a heck of a keel. Sure as poo it will run straight as an arrow in a straight line.
