Bulkheads in place


Bulkheads inserted into the hull board, center keel and rudder connected. The hull is shaved with a knife where it joins the keel. This allows the first hull plank to sit flush against the center keel. This is done from the stern up to the top of the bow. Without having doweled the keel before hand, it would not have been possible to glue the keel to the hull since the angle on each side of the hull is only 1/16 thick in some spots as you can see the dowel is showing through the hull.
