Do that and ye may become an extinct species....or incarcerated
Had a friend once that got his pix into the sports page of his giant snow goose limit. He was so proud till the warden knocked on his door and fined him $5,000 x 2 = $10,000 for killing two trumpeter swans of whitch there were only a couple of doxen left in the pacific flyway. Think that was like 1975
We all had a good laugh at his expense
Hahaha whoops. That's a pricey lesson. Almost as costly a lesson as boat building haha

Ted that sounds like a great way to seal a window. Love the "screws into epoxy" approach.

Does it matter when the windows go in? Is it better adhesive adherence to do it once it's painted or doesn't it matter?

Had a bit on this week. My timbers arrived on Monday. I ordered 2@300x65x6.0 and 1@200x65x3.0. Got the Stbd cap rail on. Glued, glassed and filleted and skim coated in sanding filler. I've made them nice and wide tapering from 200mm at the stern to 280 fwd. I think once they are all on the width will look great. I've also Been chipping away at the sanding and recoating of the fairing filler. 5 days of sunshine so the tarps are up and I'll make the most of my time after work.

Matt, cap rails look real good! Definitely want to dry fit the windows before painting, then paint, and install the windows and hardware over the finished surface. The actual masking and painting is much easier. If you have a paint problem, it's much easier to sand around the window hole than carefully up to the window itself.

Now it's a proper boat Mate!
Is that a bottle of prune juice on the fridge door?

Matt, this whole thing has been fascinating. To see you building a complex boat totally from your mental picture while working out problems on the fly is just awesome. No set plans and starting from bare bones would overwhelm all but a very few. Your confidence and perseverance are inspiring.
Thanks mate. Hope this thread serves as a what not to do for those wanting to build a boat lol

I did some more sanding then I skim coated some jotafair. Will give that a tickle with some 120grit tomorrow arvo (if it's dry enough) then it's time to move the scaff aft to finish of the roof section before breaking it down in half to work the hull section moving fwd to the bow.

One must always appease the boat building gods with blood! 
Nice recovery though. Beer makes everything better! Essential in every First Aid kit! As long as the digits are still attached everything's good to go!
Carry on!

Yup, it takes more bleeding than that too build a boat. Matt, wait till you get a little older and your skin gets thin. You'll be working on something in the engine room and see blood. Not only will you not know where you're bleeding, you won't have a clue how or when you did it.

Now - Stop that Ted! Don't ruin elusions of the young. - LOL
Remember when you were a kid and felt you could take a bullet without too much ill effect?? I even believed (when really young) if I tried hard enough I could somehow, just maybe breath under water like the fish I swam with... that's called young and dumb... at least I had good enough reasoning at 5/6 yrs old to never try that silly one!
In your post: You are intimating that these three 1/2" to 1" yesterday blood dripping scrapes on my left upper fore arm are some sort of secret abrasions that suddenly appeared from whence I know not where. Well - I must admit, you are nearly correct! In that, I know what did it (because I eventually found blood on it), I just don't know how or exactly when - lol. Dripping blood on my wrist watch lens was the initial tell tale sign when checking the time -
