Yesterday the bunkboards were bits and pieces. Today, I was able to dryfit all the bunks. Once I knew they worked as intended, I drilled all the fastener holes oversized, gave all the bare wood one last sanding and then a coating of clear epoxy. They will be ready for installation tomorrow with all bare wood now sealed. In anticipation of being able to move beyond the bunkboard level. I glued up the upper hull sides. I will let them cure undisturbed for a couple of days. If I am able to install the bunks and fillet them over the next couple of days I will be able to start installing hull uppers on Friday.

Hi Thomas
Really like the job your doing and your site, lovely to see a boat going together. Wrt fillets we used different diameter pipes to form the fillet, they were easy to handle and we could get the right sized fillet.

Thanks Dave. I do use different sized pipes to smooth the fillets once they are partially cured. They work well
