I got the starboard bunks all filleted in and glass taped today. I'm going to do a fill coat in the morning. I also knocked out all of the mini fillets for the beam compression struts and shaped and coated the port hull lifting bunk sections. I'm sorry for the poor pixel quality. There's almost no light in the garage after dark.

 
I used Scott Williams' method of blue masking tape again. I didn't want a full 3" piece of tape for the bunk fillets, so the tape makes a nice line and lets me make a narrower strip.

 
All taped and cut

 
All that's left on this hull are the lateral lifting section supports, a final epoxy coat, and varnish........and lots of sanding. I'm going to sleep in there tomorrow night to see how it feels!
