After an extended break due to other priorities, I’m back at slowly installing more ribs. On the right is the back section of the boat with seven new ribs in a row. It’s exciting to see a small section that’s completely held together with new ribs. We broke three ribs trying to get the last one in (on the left). Unsure if it was just three bad pieces or because that’s where the curve is the biggest. For now I’ve put that one on hold and working on the rest.

In other news, my driveway is no longer a big sinkhole so now I can roll the boat out onto the driveway and do the sanding out there, which is a huge improvement over sanding inside, with the dust cloud that inevitably arises.
