Re: Eric's C21
Really like the way you rounded the ends and raised the cleats slightly.

Re: Eric's C21
Thanks cape man. I had to raise them to correct the unlevel stringers. I guess me moving around as I glued them flexed the hull.
This is the only way I could correct that. I plan to fill the gaps between the cleats. I wish I'd paid more attention.
Re: Eric's C21
Looks awesome....funny I was just sitting here thinking about rounding my strings so I could wrap them in glass. Good to see someond else rounding them. Your work looks great.

Re: Eric's C21
Looking good. Gives me great pleasure to see this one continuing forward.
I am wondering what the brown line about 10" down from the sheer is... Is that a scarf joint?
I sort of expect to see a tape there.. maybe I am wrong...

Looks really good Eric. Like everyone else said it is good to see you working on it again.
Fallguy you are looking at where the upper and lower panels meet.

Re: Eric's C21
Looks to me like it was rounded over with wood flour glue and glassed over. That is why the brown looking line. I am sure Eric will give us the final word tomorrow

First, Thank Both of you. It means a lot for my work to be praised by such fine builders!
Now to answer the question, The lamination schedule didn't call for glass to go that high.
I liked the idea of glassing it for strength and water proofing. The easiest way was to use 50" biax.
I filled with wood flour at a shallow angle to allow the fabric to lay flat.
I need the water proofing because I will wash under the gunnels to prevent mildew and remove wasps.
Probably petty but I hate both, especially to D$^% wasps. Living in the south the are an issue.
