Well then, all the planks are now on. I don’t know what else to add. I started on the companionway hatch and Joosep worked his way with our thin, but long friend – the epoxy fillet. New planks need lots of that, with glass tape and all. We could have done more, but I was half paralyzed with food poisoning from wednestay to saturday, so our maximum effort was on sunday. Lets have some pictures:
Slightly grainy, but still good. An exercise in vertical lines, fine arts, fine architecture: the deckline tilts right, cabin line tilts left and the companionway hatch tilts right. Might just be that I have built the hatch with the wrong tilt, keeping in mind, where the boom will swing.

Our next plan is to place necessary bracings on the inner side of the planks, do additional sanding and filleting, interior painting and then decking up the boat. Completing the companionway hatch is in the plans as well.
