TV 15-32 overdue post

I keep meaning to post this and then one thing or the other comes up. I've finally got a little time so I will try to rectify this.
Guess a little background is in order. This is my second boat. First was built from a combination of a couple of sets of free plans. It was most built as a test vehicle and learning tool. It was built with what I have heard called rib and screw, very little fiberglass at all. From start to finish I had 11 days invested and most of that in waiting for the paint to dry.
So far I've got about two and a half weeks in this one and guessing maybe halfway through
starting to put the pieces together
all wired up
external filets started
outside filets finished and sanded
external cloth applied and internal filets applied
hopefully I put the last fill coat on the exterior tonight and can start finishing out the inside tomorrow.
So far it's going pretty good I think, being that it's my first stitch and glue boat. The only problem I have encountered so far is when I was putting the cloth on the hull, where the tumblehomes were resting on the sawhorses I developed a wave in them that I will have to work out. I will say this, from what I can see so far I think this is going to be a great boat
