Ribs in place


Well it's starting to look like a boat and yesterday was a real productive day for me. I got all the ribs set in place and the stem mounted. Installed part of the keelson and today if it does not rain will finish the keelson. There is a 60% chance of rain today and if that happens there will be no work on the boat today, but if it does not rain I will finish the keelson and start working on the chines which this will be a slow job. To install the chines each rib will have to be notch twice , one in the top and one in the bottom. After installing the chines we will start the fairing the boat. What this means we will make sure that the plywood fits flat on each rib and this usually means shaving the ribs. Well this is about all for today hope everybody that reads this has a great day. Until next post be safe.
