Cap Rails dryfitted and ready for shaping

The build is nearing completion! Who would have thought that this would take 3 years and then some. Well, it has, but I am really getting excited about the end result. I have just finished a dry fit for the cap rails which are joined together on the boat with 'Birds Beak' joints. For the most part, this worked out well, although there are a few boards that I am going to redo. Next step with the dry fit is to make the outside edges flush with the outer rubrails and make a 1/4" round off on the inner adge. Then I will take off all of the pices and reinstall with epoxyglue before a final sanding and shaping, then clearcoat.
