It was @cracked_ribs I believe his instagram handle was or is double eagle island. He doesn't appear to be a member of the site anymore.

I met cracked_ribs by random chance at work once. I recognized him from the article in the paper about his boat. Great guy!

More weekend progress. Front portside panels dry fit. I'm applying the glass/epoxy to the inside of the panels on a horizontal surface because its way easier. Portside should be fully attached at some point tomorrow night.
Have been messing with the temp laser, can measure 1-3 degree exotherm on the epoxy while curing. I am experimenting with cranking the heat to 27-28c to see if I can measure when curing is mostly complete by the exotherm ending instead of waiting 24 hours. At 27 degrees it turns super hard in around 18 hours, but still isn't effectively sandable until 48 hours

Mad gains on the build last night. Had the big crew come and help fillet, and tape the chines, bow, sides and transom then set all the glass in epoxy over the entire hull in a single session. About 300 square feet of glass + 120 feet of tape over all the joints.
Just finished first flood coat, one more this evening. Then fairing time.
