Let the planking begin!

 We prepared all of the planking for the port-side deck of the main hull today.  The forward deck can be formed as a single piece due to the minimal curvature in this area.  We still need to form and join the planks to the form frame.
Similar to the forward deck, the coaming just aft of the main cabin (lower left in photo) is also formed from a single piece of foam.  The deck is slightly thicker than the lower hull, but still forms easily.  Once laminated, it should make a strong surface to support the crew while they shake out a reef on a brisk sail.
