WE ARE DRILLING THE HOLES TO TIE TOGETHER THE KEEL TO THE KNEE, USING SILICON BRONZE BOLTS AS FASTENERS. |
| THE TRANSOM IS PUT IN IT'S PLACE AND CLAMPED, WAITING FOR IT'S BOLTS |  |
 |
THIS PHOTO SHOWS THAT YOU CAN'T HAVE TO MANY CLAMPS. WE HAVE PLACED SOME BEDDING ADHESIVE BETWEEN THE KEELSON AND THE KEEL AS WELL AS PLACING SCREWS ABOUT EVERY 6 INCHES . |
| THE CENTER BOARD IS MADE OUT OF MARINE PLYWOOD . WE POURED LEAD INTO A HOLE CARVED THROUGH THE CENTER BOARD . WE ALSO THEN FILLED ANY LOW SPOTS WITH EPOXY. FINALLY FIBERGLASS CLOTH WITH THREE COATS OF RESIN. THAT IS THE STAGE WE ARE AT IN THE PHOTO . EVENTUALLY WE WILL PAINT IT |  |
