Nice boat Nemo. Looking good.
I have one question froma woodworker's perspective.
I have a hand planer or three. Instead of spending so much time using a belt sander and ceating lots of dust, had you considered planing those those pieces? I am not picking apart yor excellent work, only asking as I was just thinking what might have made that a bit easier for you.
I love Teak wood. Its very pretty as is really good colorful cherry... I knoww e don't use cherry on boats...
Its all gorgeous when its cleaned and sanded and then clear coated.. Thanks for sharing..
