Dry fitting third strake no.2

All I managed to do tonight was trimming already glued strakes and preparing third strake for gluing.

Edges trimmed from panel tabs and sanded smooth - for easier epoxy impregnation.

As always with the twin strake - the biggest thing is to align it perfectly with its “brother” which is already mounted. Human eye is very sensitive to symmetry - even small diversion is clearly visible.

My hull will be painted black so strakes will not be that clearly visible as with light finish but still…

With both planks it is on the verge of being too short to accommodate my thickened transom. But it worked this time, too.
