Stem has been faired and shaped 'square'. Pencil line shows where outwale requires built up stem to stay flat.	Built up stem after rounding off. This is done by a similar process as used in making round spars. There it is called eight-siding. Once the first set of chamfers is done it is easy to sand to round.
Rounded off stem has been glassed. Upper joins of transom/hull topside are done at that time too, so the outwale can be glued on later over the glass. This preserves joint integrity.	Buoyancy box and mid-bulkhead are linked with a strong bearer to carry longitudinal seat top.
Foredeck cleats being glued to topsides using long timber cramps.	Longitudinal seat tops are fitted on the underside with a doubling for the inspection hatch cut-outs.
Seat tops being glued to sub structure using a combination of temporary screws and weights.	Foredeck template made up of three strips of hardboard. This way one only has to fit up one outside curve and it uses very little hardboard!
The opening for the inspection hatch in the foredeck has been cut with the circle cutting attachment on the router. Doublers have been glued on as for longitudinal seat tops.	Foredeck being glued on. Weights and temporary screws being used as for longitudinal seat tops.
