Day 3

9 August 2004

Started the actual build-up today.
Peeled the fiber glassed sides and bottom up from the bench and fitted the stems

Stems in place

Once the stems were in place, time to fit the rubrails. The only 1 X 2 I could find was 8 foot long, so I straddle the joint in the hull with an eight foot piece and fitted two four foot pieces at each end.. Had a strange line at the joints of the rails, but once the ribs were in , that cleared up.

First rail in!

 

other side

 

Ribs in and the rails fairly straight now.

 

Almost looks like a Boat!

 

Next up is to do some sanding, then fit the bottom!
