You can just make out the curve to the right of the pencil line. |

Filler on. |

As luck would have it, the daggerboard slot will be between the filler patches. And the keel will be just aft of them. |

4 rounds of primer rolled on one side, none on the other yet. |

Looking good. |

I just rolled on one side, so that the paint was still tacky when I went back for the next coat. |

Thats about 115 man hours on the bottom since we put on the 1st coat of paint on the 9th of November. |
