Fibreglassing

The instructions said we should place the fibreglass tape over the filleted glue lines while the glue was still soft.  We tried this in one small section, but it was a bit messy, as you can see here,  so we decided to let the glue dry and do the fibreglassing as a seperate step.

The work in progress needed a little tidying up, but as I'm only 5 dad thought perhaps he should do the sanding.  (Basically he's too lazy to do it by hand and didn't want me using an orbital sander) .  He  sanded the center web flush with the gunwales, sanded the transom,  and generally tidied her  up a bit in preparation for fibreglassing.
