- The Dauntless Project has been on hold as I stumbled between other major projects trying to to solve a late-in-life crisis. Being over the "standard" retirement age but still working, I was searching for an Idea on how to turn a hobby into a profitable business. Building a model boat didn't qualify.
- My primary employer "retired" me in early 2015 so now I have time to pursue other projects of interest.

A Hull of a Job

Published March 31, 2012 | By Dan Kautz

More work on planking the forward part of the hull. This is the part of the work where the builder has to force wood to go where it doesn’t want to go. There are no instructions on how to do this other than the info page says, “…install in alphabetical order. A,B,C”. Interestingly there are 6 parts “C”.

Well I seem to be doing OK after one false start. There is some trimming of the wood to make it fit this far along. The idea, at least for me is to find a way to route the wood for minimal stress in bending.

It’s those curves that make boat hulls so alluring.
