Just to take a step back, here's the loft floor set up using the nails to transfer the lines to my molds. I used a stapler to hold the sheet rock nails in place......



For the last week I'm been installing ribbands to the molds. After looking at options I decided to use fir and to deal with the tight turn in the stern i first ripped down to 7/8 and then on my bandsaw ran a kerf in what ever distance I needed to get back into the softer turn of the hull. I then ran the ribband back through my planer down to a finished thickness of 3/4". As for the lengths, I spliced them as recommended in Gougeon Bros. book with epoxy the previous day.....
