Chines glued and screwed

Monday, Feb. 15: I said Saturday I wouldn't declare total victory over the troublesome chines until they were epoxied and screwed in place. Today, with the help of Capt. JT, we got that done. We also glued and screwed the sides to the transom permanently.

I thought I would be at this point two weeks ago, but the important thing is the bow, stern, and sides are properly built and installed. No pictures today. It looks just like it did a couple of days ago, but now it is permanently sealed with epoxy.

Now I can finally move on to the next step: make and install the bottom. Then I'll have at least the shell of the hull done. Many more steps before it can be called a boat.
