I also went ahead and added the groove to the bow where the forestay attachment will eventually go. You will notice that the poplar cap has a distinct shape. It was the best I could come up with that would take care of all the interesting angles that meet up at the bow transom of the boat!
After everything was good I was able to put a couple of coats of epoxy on it. Interestingly I tried a different method of applying the epoxy - I poured the epoxy onto the hull then spread it with a squeegee while my wife followed up behind me with a wide brush to even everything out. It worked like a charm!
Next steps are to add one more coat of epoxy and then start the fairing process. I am hoping to have it faired by next weekend so I can start putting the primer coat on!
