Tentative fairing

Decided to spend an hour on the boat tonight, not something I normally do during the week as I can't really make much noise.

However I did break out the belt sander and sanded flush the tops of the screws securing the sheers. Also stuck a couple of the frame bolts back in. I am 1 nut short...bugger

Then decided to look into fairing. Started off by running my straight edge along frames 0 to 4. Frame 1 is quite low. I am going to have to glue a filler on. The rest line up pretty nicely. So then I got the rasp out and chewed the chine down level with the frame on 0, 1 & 2. Quite scary at first. I can see quite a bit of material is going to get feed to the power plane.

Finished the night by cutting the chine off flush with the transom on one side. Needs a touch up with the sander but looks ok.

Weather is bad today, I think winter might be checking in. I am going to have to use every available opportunity to saw and plane my remaining boards because I can't do it all in the shed as it wont fit. A couple of weeks of bad weather will stop progress completely.
