Petrel... coaming lip and skeg box

About a week ago I installed the coaming lip, laminating it in place out of poplar.

Also fabricated a skeg box, patterning it after the design in my Valley and SKUK boats, and again laying it up in place. This involved cutting a slot in the hull and building a mold that was removed from the slot after the glass cured. The bolt, which serves as an axle for the skeg blade, is glassed over to prevent leaks. A pvc plumbing fixture installed in the top edge will accept a flexible tube and cable.
