I was going to shape and glue the keel batten - a board that runs down the centerline inside the bottom of the boat - today, but my board is only 14 ft and I need 16. I found the other two feet in another piece that I was going to scarf to the 14 ft piece, but it's too warped. I'll have to wait and go to the lumber yard and get a better piece. I was too tired to do anything else, so I called it a day.
My friend Wojtek sent me a picture showing how the bottom panels go on. I didn't think they were stitched on while the epoxy sets, but they are. That's a bit more work than I anticipated the bottom would be. Not bad though.
