I am now building up the mould. The plywood has to be faired to fit. First I do a rough fit with the help of a spline and some lead weights of the sides. After that the bottom sheets is put on. Now I am fairing with surfaces instead of lines. That is far easier.
The aft part of Exlex is ready for the Divinycell. The spoon bow will be much more difficult to get a good shape on. I will take my time to do good work on that.
Below some pictures.
First me with one of my favorite splines. I have had it for many years and faired many boats with its help.
