Ok, now I've finally finished the outside hull. I've got the stems and keel strip fastened and faired. In the first photo you'll see how the keel strip meets the stem unfaired; in the second one it's faired; and in the third one it's a front shot of them meeting. They are bedded in caulking, not expoxied, that way, as they take a beating over the years they can be easily removed and repaced. The keel is walnut so it'll take a lot of hits and stay strong. I hate to paint it, but it's got to be done. The third photo is dark, and the camera lanyard is in the way, so it's not much of a good pic unless you look closely.
Next is turning her upright, finishing out the gunnels, breasthooks, spreaders and seat as well as varnish.
