Fig. 5: Note that it will be necessary to notch the chine to receive the #1 Frame.
Fig. 6: After mounting the bow piece on the bottom planking, the sheer and carling are tapered to rest on top of the bow piece, fit into the notches in the frames, and extend to the transom for triming to length.
Fig. 7: The entire decking area must be faired so that the deck plywood will lie flat on all surfaces. In the forward portion, a wood rasp will be handy, while in the long sweeps in the aft portion a plane is best.
Fig. 8: Progressively checking the fairing with a scrap of plywood will help to insure that the members are properly faired for the decking. |
