Another day a few more strakes.

These strakes over the last two days have slowed progress considerably. The make the bend that transition the sides to the bottom of the boat and involve bends in two directions and twists both ways. Average time is 2-3 hours to shape and install one strake.
It's a routine-wet the plank, fit it to see what it needs, heat it, bend it, remove from heat and hold in place until it cools enough to retain its new shape, test fit. If fit is good move on to next section, if not repeat until fit is good. Once entire plank is shaped sand bevel to match as needed. I "get in the zone" and before I know it the Admiral has finished another Hallmark movie as she works on her jigsaw puzzle, and another plank is fitted. It's crazy how much satisfaction completing a single stake gives me.
Thank you once again for all the looks and likes.
