Building a Chuckanut 12 - work in progress

I am slowly making progress with my project building a Chuckanut 12, a skin-on-frame kayak, based on the plans from Dave Gentry. It is a cute little boat, maybe not really my type of kayak, but my intention is primary to use her for sailing. Modifications needed for sailing and sailing rig details are based on notes kindly provided by Dave.

I have finalised most of the woodwork and the next step is to have her skinned. Below are some pics from my work:
