Pretty much the finished hull.  Painted and ready to go.
Ok Ok!   No gudgeons and pintals but the hinge pins are easy to remove and what do you care.  I tried to make them but this was easier and repalceable at the local hardware store.  Brass plated and cheap.
Laying out the mainsail.  Thank God the kitchen floor was big enough.  Here's a hint.   Magic marker wouldn't write worth s#*t on the polly tarp but a piece of charred wood from the fire worked fine and the charcoal washes right off.
Lots of hot glue and nylon bolt roap.  Darts cut in and hot glued down.    Sail is coming together.
