Plywood for the sides

For the sides of the hull I need to lay up some plywood. To do this I need strips about 6.25". I thought about finding a table saw, but decided just to go ahead with the circular saw.

I made myself a convenient cutting area using a pallet and some loose wood.

With this I was able to rip using the circular saw relatively conveniently. 

Initially I planned to use 8' and 4' lengths along the sides and 6' lengths spanning the sides. But I realized that would have the same joint locations as the flat sheets so instead I made six 6' sections to have the joints offset from the foam and surface joints.
