Worked on the hull panels:

• Removed staples from butt straps
• Chamfered butt straps
• Cut out butt straps of P4L and P4R to accept gunwales later on.
• Corrected width of S0 and S4500 snakes on hull panels.
• Drilled holes for stitching panels (nearly done)

I found that the stitching aid did not work as expected. The locations of the 'B' holes in the P2L panel strayed too much from those in C2 (bottom panel). This was caused by the different curves in the edges of the panels. The edges of C2 are moderately curved and the 'B' side of P2L is nearly flat.

Devised new strategy:

• Use stitching aid to drill holes on the edge of C2 (like before).
• Drill holes at bulkhead locations in P2L.
• Wire both panels together
• Draw matching locations for holes in P2L
• Lay P2L and P2R on top of each other and drill through both panels (saves time).
• Repeat for other panels
