When gluing the frames to the sheer the have to be place slight tilting toward the back of the boat and are NOT and 90 degrees to the sheer to achieve this the kit provides two Jigs In order to enable the jigs to stand up on the their own I add two pieces of wood either side of the jig at the bottom.

The frames, centre keel and sheer are all glued using 5 minute epoxy and then reinforced along each contact point.

Next was to glue on the butterfly keel, this type of keel seems to be primarily used by Dumas Products as I have not seen it used in any other kit. Then after that I glued on the Chine (these are to strips of wood that go along the length of the hull).
