Hull Interior Work

I decided to leave off fairing the deck until its attached to the hull, and get to work on the hull interior.
As expected, there are gaps between the internal stem and the hull at both the bow and stern. I thought about cutting a piece out, but decided on filleting instead.
A hefty fillet was required to fill in the gap. It adds weight, but also adds strength.

Glassing the interior went pretty routinely. I made one discovery-I had trouble getting the glass to adhere near the sheer line last year because the glass wasn't well saturated enough. Its harder to see against the lighter colored wood.
After burying those internal stems in rather massive fillets, I decided on small end pours, just so I'll have something to drill through for the grab loops.

Skeg box in place.

Glassing the underside of the deck went routinely.
