It took a few weeks but the hull is now faired. I filmed at different stages as the work proceeded and here it is in a how-to video youtu.be/lhq3nxnMmAk

During the hull fairing process any knots that appear on the surface of the planking have to be fitted with gravos or graving pieces let into rebates over the knots. There's a traditional way to do it, with a few modern modifications like using a router, and gluing them in. At the same time the fastening holes all get plugged. |
