boat is tented, deck sanding in progress and 
a new youtube video

The boat is tented to allow work on the deck

the rounding over and sanding and filling of the screw holes is in progress ,
I prefer to get surfaces as fair and perfect as possible before glassing as I feel it makes for less fairing compound to be added and sanded off at the fairing stage

Bow deck to cabin deck transition in progress

 Tomorrow 21 Feb is 1 year 

since I cut the first pieces of wood for the frames 

and began the build

It has been 364 days of fun, great pleasure, creativity, creation, sanding slog, stickiness, and dust.

 Thank you Tanya and all my supporters, PEM Lublin,

 Filleted bow compartment, planed flush deck joint,
 filled  screw holes

Today I finished up the fillet under the deck in bow compartment - I had to take a break from the monstrous overhead fillet job the previous day. I am in two minds to leave it as it is or to add a layer of glass - it can always wait as I made sure to leave good access.

then I planed the deck joint down, companionway bulkhead and also the cockpit coamings, and filled some screw holes in preparation for the round over of the sharp corners
 - all for the glassing  work to come, there are plenty more screws to fill  !!!!

and shop vacced the inside and outside and admired my work,
