I have been continuing on with the notches on the starboard side of the bottom. As I approached the bow the curves in the frame the router / Jig solution wasn't working so well and so I changed over to a tenon saw and chisels.
Discovered that this method was just as quick and didn't suffer the tear outs that the router caused.
So I have one left to do on the starboard bottom.
I also have cut one of the battens to marry up to the chine. This is a complex angle, but turned out to be very easy to cut. A bit of fine tuning with the spokeshave left a very nice joint.
Hit another screw with my chisel, I knew it was there, having already removed most of it to chisel a notch. I even knew the bit was there and was trying hard to miss it. Not a big deal, but it's another half hour of building time lost to sharpening instead of building.
