I’ve cut out the limber / ballast tank holes. As they will be containing the brass inserts, you don’t need to file all the way to the line of worry too much about neatness as they won’t be seen again. This step went much quicker than I expect and is a relief after the Typhoon hull.

Notice that the scribed lines on the sail don’t match up with the cut outs, these will need to be filled later
