How a peel ply releases from the composite substrate to be bonded controls the surface quality and thus bond performance. Fracture between (blue arrow) the matrix resin of the impregnated “wet peel ply” and that of the composite substrate produces the best results.

There is a very informative post about peel ply and bonding on the Composites World Blog. A lot of good information about the subtleties of surface preparation.
Good to see your posting again. I was already asking myself, how the construction was going on. I'm looking forward so see such a fine boat on the water.
