BOX IT UP!

Once we had the frames on the jig aligned, the hull panels joined it was time to start putting them on. you'll note a lot of the other builds are neater! this is because all of them have been built upright, most have been inside and this was the first boat built and a lot of bridges were being crossed as we built her.

we joined the panels with the zip ties and bogged her up inside and out. Note in one of the photos you can see the big patch of bog up at the bow due to the hollow that develops as the ply is tortured to which every builder has encountered and overcome. also note the three 3mm deep cuts on the bottom to reduce the tension in the ply as it is tortured athwartship and longitudinally.
