: Looks good Kirk. Did you put any support under the ends of the deck
: stringers? I have always taken a block and did a little shaping
: to create a clean transition and support the stringer.

: I always take the lazy way and staple the skin around the ring but
: your sewing does look better than staples. :-)

Thanks Jeff

No, I didn't support the end of the deck stringers, but I'm building a second one of these next so I'll do that. It's a sleek looking boat.
