Fairing progress on the starboard chine

I'm happy to report that my annual boycott of "Black Friday" has once again been a success. Instead, I spent some time working on the boat, (you guessed it), fairing the starboard chine.

Let's take a look:

First of all here's our graphic for reference...

Now, working our way from front to back, here is the current state of the chine-to-stem connection.

Chine joint at Frame #5-1/2. 

Forward scarf joint. This is on the outer layer of the laminated chine, between Frame #5-1/2 and Frame #4. 

Here's a view of the chine between Frame #4 (foreground) and Frame #5-1/2 (background).

Middle scarf joint. This is on the first layer of the laminated chine, between Frame #4 and Frame #2.

Rear butt joint. This is on the outer layer of the laminated chine, just aft of Frame #2.

While not exactly "long boards," I have been using these drywall sanding blocks. They're just short of 9" long, and I've been using them with sanding belts that I cut in half. They work great, and with 36 grit sandpaper, they remove a lot of wood in a hurry.
