Putting on the bottom

Dave and Anke helped us put on the bottom. You can't see Anke in these shots because she's inside bracing up the bottom as we glue and nail (what a trooper!).

We coated the bottom of the hull with Copperpoxy^®, which was a challenge for us, but not as difficult as I had expected. The end result is beautiful!

We wanted the rudder coated as well, so it was built early in the process.
