The weights have been hanging, along with the circular saw for a while, to help bend the wood that has to curve with the side of the boat. 
Here's the port side piece bent and attached. We had to notch out the bow for the end to fit into, and soon we'll be planing this piece so that the sides of the boat can be attached and fit smoothly on without too many gaping holes! 
Belt sanded the bow to make a nice taper. Now the boat can cut through the water! 
Love the boat. Looks like lots of progress. Hope to sail in it one day. Chuck says he can send you some plans for the next one now that he knows they don't have to be accurate :)
