Saturday I got the first/inner wales finished both sides. I also glued up the wider outer wale splices so they could cure overnight. This AM I sanded and rounded the port side wale and got it glued and screwed on.
Note the groove under the wales. This serves as a hand hold/grip and deflects water back down so it does not come on board. Works quite well.
Another view of Grip Wale.
That is a massive wale!
Wale splices and overlap detail.

Hopefully I can get the starboard side done this PM after the heat dies down a bit.
Un Abrazo,
