Today with more help from friends we passed the half way mark on skinning the radius chine on the Didi 40 Cr. Now all the stringers are hidden under the first layer of 6 mm ply. Already I have fitted four planks of the second layer to check my construction detail and now I can go full steam ahead.

On the first few planks where we used two 3 mm layers of ply to achieve the 6 mm we have temporary cleats between the stringers. Forward of that the stringers are close enough to not require additional cleats.
