Well after all my doubts, now that I have spent hours sanding, fill coats and varnishing, 6 coats it looks really good. It's not perfect and there are flaws which are annoying but no one who looks at it seems to notice what I do. If I build another I don't think I will stain it, that was the root of many of my finishing problems. I've learned a lot about Glass cloth and resin application and finishing and I'm now the proud owner of a Festool orbital sander (brilliant) so I'm hoping to sell this one and start another in the Autumn.
Do let me know if you have any questions. By the way, I applied two layers of cloth to the hull and the total weight of the boat is exactly 20kg which I think is quite good.
What you said about Nick is so true - he makes everything look easy. His videos are great, you just have to remember he's done it a thousand times before!
