Chesapeake 17 Kayak - The Hull and Deck Beam - February 9, 2015

I once heard the best way to make progress on a project is to do a little each day. Today I did a little. I took the clamps off the deck beam I made.

I still need to sand it but I'll do that before it gets installed in the kayak.

I also turned the hull over and clamped it to a couple of horses with boards about two feet long and about one inch wide, very similar to the stock that was used to create the sheer clamps. This is the first step in fairing the hull.

Those bulk heads are not installed yet, they are just loosely fitted in the boat. That was it for today. Starting to look like a boat now.
