3d day

Went 3d with a small hiccup.  One crack to mend....

In the course of unfolding the stitched  halves.  the starboard bottom panel did a reverse flex and cracked just before the bow.  will patch with glass on the inside and sand smooth.  nothing terminal yet.  I did need to add a little reinforcement at the bow to get things lined up better.  It is pretty spectacular when this thing unfolds.  I recommend an extra pair of hands here.

This crack was not as bad as it looked.  a couple of layers of glass set in epoxy on this side, backed up by a scrap piece of 1/4" ply set over release film and screwed in place created an almost invisible yet strong joint.  Sad to say, I have had to do this process many times while building boats.
