I have run into a MAJOR problem when attaching the sides. On the left
side, it almost fits well although I havent fastened the bow. On the
right side, it is a disaster. I somehow managed to fasten it so it
goes below the bottom stringer so there is no way it can possibly fit
at the bow. The left side can be made to fit the bow, but the right
side will be left with about a 1" gap at the top tapering toward the
rear. Furthermore, there is no way the top stringer can attach to
this side piece but will simply sit atop it. This could be fixed with
fibreglass tape in the end but that isnt very elegant. I suspect I
have to remove the right side, cutting the glued joint with the saber
saw.

I have decided not to do ANY more work on boat #2 until I solve this
problem on #1, otherwise I will simply repeat my mistakes.
