FAIRING: It will be necessary to "fair" the various longitudinals. One method is to file a notch conforming to the frame contour at each frame along the chine, sheer, and keel. The angle of intermediate notches can be determined by using a straight edge across members and gradually adjusting the notch until the straight edge rests on flat surfaces.

FAIRING: These longitudinal members are then planed to match the angle of the notches. Be sure that the resultant surface is "fair", without humps or dips. NEXT
