Fairing Diary: Day 480

The vertical fairing of the port chine at Frame #2 left high points in the chine aft and forward of the frame.

Over the last few days, I have been working to sand those high areas down... kind of like working the wrinkles out of a blanket — made of mahogany.

Working the aft end of the chine has also increased the importance of fairing the side of the transom. It extends outward, past the chine, and hasn't been touched in a while.

I've been working on that, too. 

So, here are the progress photos at Day #480:

Close, but no cigar... just yet.

Slowly making my way into that transom.
