Hey Louis, Thanks for the advice and I am going to try and heed it...that plywood is expensive stuff.
Well you are observant, that 6oz cloth in the front is for the sole, consol, bits and pieces etc etc.
Got to tell you, I have looked at plenty of your photos and build advice. Your boat and its layout helped inspire my decision for the OB17.
I will be posting progress and pics so, I hope you guys can point out any mistakes etc... I will welcome advice.
Kind regards Steve.

Ok. So I have done a little test with a panel joint on some 6mm sprap ply. It is how I intend to join all the panels and taped joints. I am hopeing it will save me time with fairing and maybe save some weight.
The photo sequence should explain.

Great I am pleased to here that...
Here are some more pics of the sequence
Fill the groove with epoxy and glue powder/flock etc.
Lay up with Double Bias and scrape off excess.
Second layer of glass.
You can see here with the larger photo that the layup is fairly level with the wood.
I will saw this in half after it is cured to see how it looks at the joint.

I used the same technique on my FL12. It made the fairing almost effortless with very little fairing paste used. I did not think of the power planer to achieve the recess. Great idea.
Here is a shot over the seem on the bottom after fairing and epoxy coating
