Also one of the midline chines snapped under the strain of trying to bend it. There is so much pressure there. We have scarfed it at 9:1 and will try and use it as a gunwhale next time.
Hope it holds!

Scarf held perfectly. All the first layer of gunwhales and chines are on now and the second layer are coated ready to go.
Thanks to the long weekend we will for the first time ever have two days in a row to work on the boat!!
So more pics tomorrow.

Looking good. Can you make the pics slightly larger? (You are uploading to Flicker or similar site first and "Copying Image Location" into the post using the button, right?)
When's the boat flipping party? A few months away still?

What do you mean by this? Are you precoating the surfaces with epoxy and letting it cure before you glue them together? I read that this isn't a good idea. Sure, you are preventing a glue starved joint, but you are creating another problem.
Epoxy does not bond well to cured epoxy, just like paint can't stick well to fully cured gloss paint. (Cured epoxy is not as porous or rough as bare wood). The best way to glue with epoxy is to rough up the wood surfaces with coarse sandpaper, let them soak up some unthickened epoxy, then apply the thickened epoxy ... all in one gluing session.
So if you want to encapsulate the boat in epoxy, do it during or after its all glued together, not before. If you already precoated some pieces, at least rough them up with coarse sand paper to get a better mechanical bond in the glue joint.
And likewise, sand any epoxy coated surfaces before painting.
(Maybe you know all this already ... I just want to clarify).

Yeah I am only coating the sides that are not being glued together.
I thought I was doing the right thing by keeping the pics small. I will make them larger from now on.

640 wide works well. Any larger and those of us with normal sized screens wind up having to scroll the screen across if you have the image embedded in the post, which can ruin the readability of a thread.
If you want to use larger, put it as an attachment - you can embed thumbnails of an attachment within a thread using the paper clip icon from the buttons above the post.

We have had a few serious hiccups with the meranti. Mostly breaks where there were massive borer holes. Fixable but really annoying.

You'll need to fill in them holes mate, she'll sink if you launch her like that

Ok. So it's been a little while the divorce has settled and I finally habe a new shed and have regained the boat (it was a close thing).
We will be getting back into her very soon.
Unfortunately the ex threw out the plans.
Can someone remind me where to get them?
And if you have already paid for them is there any discount?
