QBU 3.5.09

Three of the four lower hullsides are now double coated. One to go. Sunday for that.

Started planing the bottom of the keels as well, which are still rough from the many laminations not being exactly the same.

Also, made a scale model of the basement and the hulls, to assure myself that they would fit out the door once built down there. They will, as I had thought.

Jobs before 3D assembly now include:

Coat one more lower hullside.
Finish coats on stems and skegs.
End-grain edge coating of everything not done, with silica.
Abrade all fillet surfaces.
Scarph knuckle stringers.
Glue on stringers.
Taper stringers.
File-fit grooves from bulkheads to keelpiece so they slide together nicely.
Add vents to BH 6 (or 3)
Shape foil surfaces on keels and skegs.
