Lookin' good so far Jimbo.
I look forward to seeing more shots of it to get a better idea how the lines look. This boat is on my short list for a solo tripper.
The arrangement of strips is great and the shouldered tumblehome adds a nice touch to the lines... looking forward to what she looks like right-side up on the water!
This boat is on the top of my list once I am able to get back to building boats. Has anyone glassed around the corner of that chine? It looks pretty sharp and I'm concerned about how glassing it will go (inside and out). Am I worrying needlessly?
Jimbo. it looks real good. Unfortunately I have several projects in the works and the forms are up --- have been since Sept. and I have made no progress.

glassing around the chime was no problem. I made an effort to round the edge with sandpaper and had to be careful when using the squeegee, but other than that it was not difficult. Jimbo
Jimbo -- Looking good. I've been waiting to see how this one would turn out. I saw that Blue Water canoe is marketing a kevlar Freedom solo. I wonder if it's the same boat.
