Setting up the boards for some hand shaping

Here I am preparing to hand shape one of the centerboards. The Oregon sun was low and strong on this 2nd of December and in honor of such a beautiful day, I decided to set things up outside.

You'll notice the recessed spar which will be covered with 15 layers of 12 inch wide uni glass in between  two layers of 24 oz triaxial glass. Since the final external dimensions will be critical,  it will take a bit of skill to shape these blanks while taking into account the required schedule of glass. Not only will I need to achieve the perfect foil section, I'll need to be able to do that by anticipating the thicknesses of individual layers of glass that will be layed in various places throughout the board.  for example; the leading edge of this board will be covered with additional layers of glass so I'll need to create a recessed leading edge so that it can be built up and fared to the correct external final shape.....it's sort of like trying to work backwards in time.
