Stern piece and chines

Well, the stern piece is in place now (as in the previous post, the pic is upside down, to show how it will look in the finished product). It didn't come out as neatly as the bow stem, but I think it will still work.

That's one good thing about SOF building: you can feel great when if you totally nail it, but if you don't, it is likely it will still do and you don't have to fight impulses of setting the whole thing on fire that sheer frustration can elicit.

And one good thing of having those forms I built at the very beginning of the project in place is that you can fool around in many ways instead of doing real work.

For example, I could put the chine stringers (not yet processed) in what will more or less be their positions and check how things look. The hull shape that can be surmised seems, in my opinion, to match well the nautical software prediction of a rather stable boat for its beam. It also seems that the secondary chine will also be present and roughly where it should be, etc...

Mostly, it was fun just watching and imagining.
