First strips of glass

The floor and transom are glassed in. Woohoo!! Long way to go though so not getting too excited. Thanks to the guys on the i550 website for their advice. I had forgotten about the dreaded amine blush. It has been a bit humid here so I got stuck into the filler with water and a scrubbing pad followed up with a good sanding. There were a few bits I needed to patch up so I got that done first thing this morning before getting the glass down.
I have decided to double the thickness of F53.5 and F110 as they look too light for my taste. The extra weight will be negligible so what the heck.

No pics as everybody knows what a hull looks like.
