Getting stuff done..

At last some progress. We now have all stations cut and faired, including a notch for the gunwhale. We even got the stations set up roughly and put on a strip. Looks quite fair even without fiddling with the stations. Hopefully most stations will fit right in.
Today we also plotted the station missing from the full size plans Phill supplied. X-Y coordinates and fairing the station afterwards takes time. Note to self: Never start building from a table of offsets, if time is a concern!
To get some more progress and get to the fun part, stripping, we are going to do two sessions a week, for some time. Next time, we will set up the stations properly, and hopefully be ready to put on the first strips next week (just need to cut them first. Two weeks soon, since the sawblade was ordered, and it's still in the mail)!

We began talking about the schedule today, and we migh look at getting some ply for the decks, just to save time from strip planking the decks. Something to concider..
