INSTALLING FRAMES

Next job was to install the frames by filleting and glassing them. This wasn't very hard, everything held its shape since glassing and we only had to trim the corners of the frames to fit in because of the fillets.

We then installed the meranti gunnel landings which were stripped down to 2"x 1" and scarfed together to make the whole length of the boat. Landing were glued on for the deck at every frame and we ran the cockpit floor supports and runners. Note also the butt-joins we used to join the hull panels instead of scarfing.
