For the time being the varnish brush has been cast aside in favour of the drill. Cunningly mounted on my router's plunge mechanism, it is capable of drilling the 726 1.5mm holes required for the three bottom panels (well, two panels and the keel) in a nice perpendicular fashion.
With the holes drilled and lightly sanded, the panels have been mounted and temporarilly joined in preparation for stitching.
At this late stage I've decided to have a moment's cold feet over the detail of the stitching and have rattled off an e-mail to Bill Weller, the boat's designer, for some reassurance. I'm such a lightweight.
