This may not look much different from post #28, but it is. I have gone back and perfected individual spots with finer sand paper. The seams and corners are all shaped beautifully and everything is soooo smooth. I think I want to make the keel seam a little rounder at the stern. The angle of the camera makes the lines look wonky but I guarantee you they true and fair. I am not sanding in a hurry at all. Probably spending 3 extra days sanding to get everything just so, rather than blast through it in one shot. Not that it has to be a museum piece, I just really enjoy the transformation it undergoes as sanding progresses and things get just right. I find that taking a day and coming back to it lets me see things I missed before. Also sanded the cockpit coaming (the hoop that goes around the opening where you sit down). Little did I know that while I was sanding with my right hand, my left hand, holding the hoop, was bleeding all over the place. Every time I gripped the hoop in a different spot I was putting new blood stains on my previous work. Took me a couple laps around the stupid thing till I figured out my thumb was to blame! I couldn't see the cut cuz it was full of sawdust!
