First layer all but done

Have been slowly working down the other side to complete the first layer of 9mm ply planks.  Nothing new, just clamping in place, marking, cutting, drilling and countersinking and moving on the next one.

The photos are dry fit only, I have taken them all off now and will epoxy them on tomorrow but it will look the same so here they are.

After the epoxy is set I will plane off the extra at the chine both sides, sand a few edges that are sitting up a bit and generally prep for the second layer.

First layer one side finished

The hull continues, with the first side complete.  It still has to be faired a bit before the second layer, I will leave that until I have finished the other side.
