In that time got all of the notches on port side bottom completed, and dry fitting of the battens sorted. Cutting the forward end of the battens to shape where they meet the chine / stem was a lot of fun, bit of a head scratch-er, and very difficult to get snug fits.
I had to scarf join 4 of the 5, of which I have so far only glued 3 of them. The 3 that are glued just need trimming to length and then I can beginning glueing and screwing them into place permenantly.
This is another one of those staes that has a dramatic effect on the look of the boat, and the perceieved in not actual progress.
The big thing I noticed this morning is that lack access has again taken a big step, it wont be long before I am crawling under the cheer to get at things "inside" the boat.
