Got eight more planks clear coated and installed today.
Also got started on the fin. Made a flat gluing jig from some MDF and then glued the center piece and one of the outside pieces together. Probably should have done three pieces but whatever. Clamped and weighted the hell out of it and by tomorrow it will hold its shape well.
I have at least one more set of planking to do, but might be able to finish early this week and start fairing out the bottom. Fun times shaping the bottom. The new Star 45x RC Sailboat is taking shape!
Aloha!
