Build
A short video my brother made as we were midway through painting, discussing various aspects of the build process.
Using our plane fitted with “wings” to form the progressive bevel at the chine.
Roll-over-day
First we lifted the hulls to ensure all the stations were disconnected from the strong-back. Then we rolled them onto their sides.
Then we rolled it onto its keel and walked it back to the strong-back…
… where it was positioned onto the concrete plinth we had built into the strong-back frame.
