Fettling the trim

Working on Saga. The new rubbing or side strakes arrrived today. These will eventually be fitted to the outside of the hull so that they are flush with the new deck. Before we get to the fitting we need to finish planing back the outside edge of the new deck and drill the strakes ready for screwing to the hull. The screw holes will then be plugged to hide the screws. In the meantime we have been working on the foredeck trim piece, this is a piece of sapele that covers the joint between the two sides of foredeck.
