Took off clamps and screws after gluing up companionway hood. Used a hand saw to trim the edges. There was a lot of overhang. I have seen this in other blogs of kit builders. Then used a rasp and finally power sanders to finish the job. Next to give it a coat of fiberglass. Pictures below of the dry fit of hatch cover and companionway hood.
First entry in a long while. I did some fiberglassing in the fall on the footwell.  This completes the top sides fiberglassing. Today, Jan 20,3019 I spent a few hours retweaking the pieces for the companionway hood and glued it up. Notice in the third picture you can see the braces I had to use to prop up the cabin top so the sides of the companionway hood fit properly and there is no gap between them and the cabin top. Noticed the John Bratton in the blog "The Pocketship Yard" had the same problem.
