Mid strakes - first fit

mid_strakes_1

It has taken the best part of two days to get them shaped but they are fitting nicely now. A little more careful adjusting and they two can be epoxied. Am glad that the entire boat only requires 6 planks - am sure they could be cut quicker but I'm too nervous they wont fit so cut them oversized and plane them back with dozens of checks on the jig. Was pleasing today though that once the first plank was cut it fitted pretty much perfectly both sides so could use the router to duplicate it for the other side.
