glorious sanding, shaping gussets, towing eye, starting on foils

Lot of work sanding the chines down. Days of sanding at my pace.

Did the shaping of the upper gussets, looking nice and smooth now. Very satisfying.

Drilled the hole for the tow eye in the stern. Rather scary hitting that with a hole saw after all the delicate crafting so far, but it worked out well.

Also got the foil kit (daggerboard and rudder) and so started work on that project as well with epoxying the trailing edges of those for strength. Neat process of using tape to crate a dam to inject epoxy into.
