It's finally flipped and stuck together

More pics arrived today and the two bits are now together and work to smooth the underside in hand.That's the underside of the deck showing the inserts and deck moulding for the racks and fittings
Same thing from another angle
The internals, the centreboard case and bulkheads to reinforce the hull.
Couple of shots of its raw state out of the mould frames...
Prior to sanding.

Next step is to rub and fair the surface
Prior to filling and painting.
Clearly quite a lot of work, these stages which took most of last week.
It is however taking shape, and looking remarkably like the original plans and CAD programmes which although expected, is surprising nonetheless and very assuring.
Looking at the shot of the bow and these stern sections, it looks fully capable of taking what the sea is going to chuck at it. That nose lift should deal with anything and the stern flats look well capable of fast planing, it is a beast, I certainly won't be naming it after anything floral that's for sure..
