Today I've filleted the inside of the boat. Worked quite well, and due to the heat I was able to smooth the fillets within about 1 hour of putting them in the boat. Cleaning up the epoxy has been a bit harder: the bulk came off easily with a squeegee, but the thin parts left behind solidified too quickly for me to get them off with alcohol. Hopefully they'll sand invisible enough.
Mast step got fillets on the inside as well, and went into the boat.
Rudder, daggerboard, and rudder head all got a first coat of epoxy all over.
Also, I rounded over the holes in the spars using the router (the bearing is just under 1/2" which means it fits in the hole). Some of the holes don't look too great given that the drill ripped up parts of the wood. Oh, well. I might patch the breaks with thickened epoxy or just pretend they are OK. That's work for tomorrow.
Time: 5 hours
Total: 115 hours
