Veneer layer nearly finished

So as of right now I have one strake to go on the veneer layer.  It seems to have taken an age, but funnily the end of it has raced up.  So by next week it will be done.

I have ordered some parts from Glen L,  the strut, the rudder stuffing box and the box on how to fibreglass the hull.

The latest plan is to turn the boat over before the end of the year,  big jobs in the ways are

1. Sanding the veneer layer.
2. Drill the holes for prop and rudder
3. Fibreglassing the bottom
4. Painting the bottom
5. Varnishing the sides

As mentioned I have ordered the book on how to do the fibre glassing,  as yet I have done no research on paint or varnish to see what is available here in NZ.
