Bo-Jest
31 May 2006
Starting on the skeg. It's made from a combination of oak and DF. I'm creating the shape in the workshop first, then I'll do the final shaping and planing once it's glued on to the boat.
Here the hull is flattened so the skeg will mate to a flat surface. The skeg in this picture is not glued, only temporarily screwed for fitting purposes.
The skeg is now glued and screwed to the hull. Only a bit more sanding and planing needs to be done.
Screw holes are filled and ready for final sanding. Fiberglass is next.
