My brother found a rare old Sterling kit of the Schooner Emma C. Berry. Not an easy find. I Epoxied 2 coats with 1.0 ounce cloth. I have done the inside and curing. The interior is one coat epoxy to waterproof. Here are photos of the hull. If you want to see my older one finished do visit the club Forums and there is a detailed thread on it. We are not only about RC planes. Some of us do both or other RC.. Visit this link. The link is in this same Boat Forum. Look at the earlier dates.

Here you will see the deck and cabin structures fitted temporarily. Thee hull has to be faired for primer. I t has so spackling being added to be smoothed out.

Happy New Year everyone.
Here you will see further hull sanding . The deck and bulwarks (rails) are fitted with ribs and painted. The deck color added and clear coated. The masts are being tapered and test fitted. They do not get glued in place ever. The beauty of the build is beginning to show some now. The cabins are not in place permanent yet. The rudder linkage is in place also.
