post 5

You will notice from the last post that the sides of the sheet of ply were precut before I did the Bow stitch and glue.
I got the shape by using some of the Meranti (12 x 25mm) lengths that were to become the minor keels, I did clamp a length along the side of the bottom sheet for about 1/2 the distance from the Aft then bent it towards the center until it was about 300mm from the now cut section at (F), drew a line ( again some lofting ) cut this section off and just placed it on the other side and copied it and cut off the other side,.This is only a rough cut as the timber length will be later glued and screwed on to the bottom and then any overhang of ply can be removed.So now I will put on the Main keel
