This is a close-up of the planing of the strips to be flush with the keel.

This is a side view of the finished stripping.

Here's what's left to complete the stripping of the boat.

Here's a closeup of the gluing process. Each strip is done with a bead and a cove. You glue the bead and then put the coved edge on top of it. Then you staple them together to hold the strips in place.

Here's a picture of the stapling process. It's easier with two guys (Jerry and Richard in this case)as one can hold the strip in place while the other person staples.

Here's a picture of the holding end of the stripping job. In this case Richard is holding the strip in place to assure there is pressure while Jerry staples the strip.

Here's a rear picture of the completely stapled boat.

Here's a side view of the completely stripped boat.

Another side view of the completely stripped boat.

Here's Jerry adding the final staples to the boat. Now we are ready to sand/plane the boat smooth to put our first fiberglass coats on it.

Here's a closeup of fairing the strips with a hand plan to get a smooth transition to the keel strip.

Here's the same thing being done from a little further out.
