The Bow section will be
assembled using the bread and butter technique. If your not familiar
with this, it's just as it sounds, a section of hull is laid down then
the top surface is glued with another hull section laid on top of the
first. The is continued up through each section to the Spar Deck or
Forecastle. I simply us 3M adhesive spry to hold the sections
together. |

1. First thing is to
determine your sections you will need off your plans, then cut each
section out to the appropriate height and shape. Note that you should cut
them with straight edges. When you glue the together it will look like an
upside down set of steps. Later you will sand down the foam to where each
of these steps meet. |

2. Once you bow section is
glued together, sand the mating surface for a good square fit. |

3. Place the spar deck on
to verify things are fitting together correctly. |

|
5. Once the bow fits like
it should, you can then make the bow hull bottom out of plywood. |
|
6. Here you can see I
notched out the bottom 1/8th of an inch for the plywood bottom to drop
into. Once it fits good glue it in place with 5 minute epoxy. |

7. Finally you can place
the Spar Deck on and sand the top of the bow section to the correct Spar
Deck camber. |
