Stbd Hull Panel

After a little deliberation, I decided to replace the Stbd Hull panel too. I simply reversed the original template (however I did need to modify it slightly as nothing on a boat is exactly symmetrical!). After I was happy with the fit I used the template to cut the panel out of a full sheet of ply.

I bought some new "quick grips" and they really proved their worth here.

I also made up the Stbd quarter panel while I was at it (the old one was a disgrace-someone used 6mm ply and packed it out with car body filler....).

Now all that remains is to drill the rest of my fastner holes, countersink them all and "glue and screw" the lot.
