Why didn't you bevel the inside edges where the top pieces come together. I looks like you did that on the lower sections along the bow. Maybe I'm mistaken? You never really show a good view of the lower sections, but it just seems to me it would be far stronger, and better looking if you beveled those joining sections.
If you watch the time-lapse from clc on this build. You see them work over each board for fit and finish. I guess it's like everything. Some people are detail oriented and others just need it to work.
The instructions from CLC tell you to keep square edges on the planks and run an epoxy fillet in the gap from the outside later to give a smooth surface for laying the fiberglass. The epoxy fillet will make a much stronger join than if the planks were bevelled and flush with each other.
Love seeing how the stitching is actually done!
The thickness of the plywood is 1/4" (approx 6mm)?
