I only had about an hour available today, so not much boatbuilding got done. The weather wouldn't permit me to work outside, so I brought a skeg-sized panel of plywood on the floor inside and began to draw the outline for the skeg. Not much of a photo op, but anyway...
The skeg will be made like a sandwich, with 3/4" thick wood between two layers of 6mm plywood. That will give it a hefty 1 1/4" thickness, and I'll be able to screw into the solid 3/4" layer edgewise to make a secure fastening to the hull, besides the epoxy adhesive. Like the rest of the hull exterior, it will be fiberglassed.
Tomorrow promises to be good weather, but most of the skeg assembly will be inside work anyway.
