Or "How Many Wire Stitches Does It Take to Build a Boat?"
Apologies to the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show...
The hull, sides, floorboards, and bulkheads are now stitched to my satisfaction. The gap at floorboards 3 and 4 was solved by gently jacking up the hull with a car jack with a length of 2 x4 positioned between the hull and top of the jack.
I still find it amazing that flat pieces of plywood can be cut in shapes that when put together form such a nice 3-dimensional curved v-hull.

WOW... looking like a fine boat. Would love to take her for a sail some time. Has the name been confirmed yet? :)
Trev,
No final name confirmation yet but no other names have been forthcoming from the dissenters.
Epoxying the inside hull is on hold...a couple of nights ago we were on a patio eating dinner and today we woke up to it snowing! I don't want to epoxy if the high for the day is only going to be 3 degrees. I can run the heater at night time but I like it to be at least 10 to 15 during the day.
