Third side panels

(I'm in "catch-up" mode now, this and next few posts cover work that I did from last week to today).

I added the third (next to last) set of side panels. Only one more set to go.


Prior to doing this, I attempted to close up the gaps between panels that were at the bow and stern. These gaps were only a couple of inches long, but they concerned me. I tried my technique of using band clamps to tighten up the ends of the boat. This allowed me to tighten up the gaps substantially, but not remove them completely.
