Planking Complete!

We passed another major milestone this weekend - installation of the final plank - the sheer strake.
WoooHooo!



I decided to minimize the number of splices in this strake, because I am hoping it will look good enough to varnish. Since the Navigator is a 15 boat, I was just barely able to make the sheer strakes using one scarf joint in the middle. I figure one splice looks better than two.







I tried to do the best job I could with the scarf joints.  They look nice and clean but I wont know for sure until after theyre faired and a coat of epoxy is applied. If it doesnt look good, I can always paint it or apply a vaneer.

But for now, time for a beer!
