The seat/flotation tank supports are in and the interior is epoxy coated. Next is to add the tops. Need to cut the center and rear seat tops and scarf on the forward seat top ends. The seats tops are over sized and will be routed flush with the sides after installation.
To be continued.... headed out for a three week trip.

The dagger board case is installed. The interior is twice epoxy coated before assembly. Cutting the slot in the hull took a little extra courage. Will now flip the boat and clean up the slot and install the keel strip. In case you noticed the dagger board is slightly offset to not interfere with the keel.

While awaiting the epoxy delivery I've been cutting parts.
She has a swing up rudder and here you can see the interior parts with the blade in the down position.
This is what it will look like with the blade pulled up for beaching. The blade still needs to have its leading and trailing edges tapered and all parts epoxied before assembly.
The tiller will attach at the top and will laminated into a gentle arch.

My wife thinks I've gone over the edge but............... I couldn't resist another stitch n' glue project. This is a 11' sailing dink.
The hull pieces have been cut and the hull wired up.
and it's sitting on a mobile base that puts everything at a good working height.
The wires have pulled everything into a nice fair shape. Now to start filleting and taping all the interior seams. The wires will be removed during this process.
