Thanks Peter. I get the impression from logs, etc, that this is what a lot of people do, so I think I'll go that way as well. (I have a padded cradle.) (For the boat :) )
I had thought I'd just finish the lower hull, but seeing yours and thinking ahead I think I'll maybe do the whole lot now as you suggest. Means I need to do a bit more work to finish the top edge of the hull and gunwhales first, but it's got to be done soon anyway, so no matter.
However, it does mean I need to decide what the colour scheme is - red below the W/L was a no-brainer; but above ??? I've not yet decided for sure. Hmm. One of the 'interesting' aspects of freelancing :)
