I'm using 36 and 40. I am on the last side of the boat for sanding for this round. Then I will apply some quick fair. I think after the quick fair, I will be close to having everything even. A few spots will definitely need another pass.

Hi guys! Been a while.

Got back in the saddle last night. With a fence, feather board and push stick I am happy to report that no router incidents occured. I now have four fairig boards. I bought 2 3/4" and 4 1/4" sticky back sand paper so I made a 1/4" and 1/2" ply board in each width. The boards are ...

Frustrating weekend!!! Here is the good: I patched the screw holes in the skeg and sanded them down nicely and I put another coat of epoxy on the non-glassed areas. The bad: started on bulding fairng boards and cut some 2x4 pieces for handles. Decided to round over the tops with the router and ended...

That is looking good. I've got about 2' on each side of mine and it works, but she's just a tad smaller.
