I rushed putting all the planks together in order to have a complete hull form for the open house.  So the last few days I've had to backup and do things right.  Today I filled the holes from glueing the second shear clamp and had some time so I decided to fix the forms.

I removed all the bottom planks so I'd be able to tape the edges of the forms. 


Does this remind you of anything?


Or this.


How about this bow shot?


It reminds me of a fast surf ski or a rough water racing kayak.  Put a deck on this and maybe sharpen the stern and it might win class 2 of a WaterTribe Challenge
