Gunwale moldings

 Applying Gunwale Moldings

I epoxied and clamped the gunwale moldings in place. They are white oak so should ad even more strength to the structure. I added the port side yesterday, so you can see how it adds a finished look to the hull.

Next Step

The moldings on the gunwales are the last structural piece to be added to the topsides. Next I will give it a good sanding, add another coat of epoxy to everything, and flip it over.
