All interior seams now have as much of the PL shaved off (mistake to go hog wild with PL) and then thickened epoxy laid down as fillets. When they formed up and were still sticky, most seams got 6 inch tape wetted out and laid over the fillets. All the interiors have at least one coat of epoxy to waterproof the plywood. I would have just used the PL as fillets, but since I am planing on keeping the boat on mooring for days at a time, Frank said I should go with epoxy fillets (and taped seams..at least I think he said taped seams...seems pretty conservative and prudent)
Now, I have to make the leeboard and the rudder and associated pieces and parts. If you should have any doubts as to why leeboards instead of daggerboards, see this. http://www.diy-tris.com/2012/articles/1-leeboards-why.htm
When the interior dries, then the cockpit area will be completely covered in 6 oz cloth. Currently, everything is still sticky.
