Notice the clamps that are being used to hold the edges of the strips together while the carpenter's glue sets. You can never have enough clamps for boat-building!
This photo clearly shows how the strips between the waterline and the keel, butt to the edge of the keel strip. Also notice that the ends of the strips below the waterline strip have been trimmed to the line of the stem and stern. Before Fiberglassing the outside of the hull, you will need to cover the sawn off ends of the strips. I use a thin piece of mahogany (1/8" thick) to epoxy in place around the curve of the stem and stem. Then round the edges, so the stem and stem are a smooth curve for the final finish. Some people prefer to use a 1/2 round brass for the stem and stern bands. If you use brass wait till after the hull is fiberglassed to put on the bands. |1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15| |
