After sanding the bow. I had some trouble to get it off, but finally managed with a disc sander connected to the drill. Be careful not to go too fast with this, as the disc can go too hard, and you cuold end up with scratches across the grain.

Now fitting the coamings. They are in the wrong place in the photo, again with help from FBHQ I got them right. Peter warned my at this point not to go too fast on the finishing, as 'this is what your boatbuilding will be judged on'. He was right, and in the last stages I always thought it better to finish it right (and get an hour less sleep) as you'll be sorry later when you rush it to the end.
