The following photos were made on my 10.5" iPad Pro. I keep getting blown away by how good the photos come out on that thing! Too bad it's not easier to carry around.
The first two I took in order to record that I'd put a second coat of paint on the insides of the storage areas:
In the next photo you can just make out the line showing the intended foil shape on the blank piece of foam that John gave me to use for the off-centre board:
I've made some cuts on the table saw to get rid of unwanted chunks of the foam, which is a very stiff, stable foam that has glass fibres throughout. John had it in his shop for decades, and now it has a good use. It's a dream to shape; I'm using 40-grit sandpaper, which takes the foam down evenly and smoothly. It makes it so much more fun! Stop turning in your grave, Michaelangelo—no chipping away stone for me!

In the photo below, the pattern for the foil shape is closest to the camera on the "bench"(sandpaper sitting on it). Next along is the hatch cover for the after hatch; then the board core, which is 48" tall, 1½" thick, and 12" front-to-back.
The foil shape is NACA 0012, which is supposed to be ideal for boat foils. I found the correct shape in a pic on the internet, brought it into a drawing program on the computer, took it up to the desired size, and printed it on some card stock, which I then cut to draw around for the pattern. The board will be glassed.
