The Hull comes together!

Wire, wire, and more wire.  It took one full spool and a portion of the second spool to stitch the hull.  Roughly 5-6 hours will get panels 1-4 and two of the temporary frames in place.  

I did have a problem with the left keel panel sliding back roughly a 1/16".  I took out some of the staples and lined it up a second time, but in the end it still when back a fraction.  My best guess is that I did not have bow and stern ends tight enough to keep them from sliding.  My second call to Pygmy assured me that it will not affect the performance of the boat in the end.  

Throughout the stitching I snapped shots of the progress and made a slideshow.  The first choice of music made Jill, my wife, tear up so I switch it over to the Black Keys for a more up beat showing.  

I still have to add the two stern panels and the last bow temporary panel.  Once those are done I will post one final picture before I glue the seams.
