TRANSITION JOINT: It will be necessary to carefully hand-fit that portion of the bottom planking along the chine that will butt join to the side planking. NOTE: To facilitate bending, toweling has been placed on the area of most stress, boiling water poured on, and allowed to set several hours or over night.

In all cases, after fitting one panel, the contour should be marked to the panel for the other side. It is, of course, advisable to first check on the opposite side in case there are any variations. NEXT
