Removing forms and building the cockpit



Earlier this week I got brave and removed the forms from the hull. Surprisingly, they came out quite easy. The stern piece was lodged in pretty good, but with a little patience and wiggling, it came out fine. When creating the coaming for the cockpit, I needed to stay focused on keeping the strips vertical. There were a few areas where the strips started to get a tilt to them, so I would start in a different area of the cockpit and when they met up, I would put a wedge piece to finish. The glue gun was a life-saver in keeping the pieces in place.
