Building the 'Samba': Continuing with the build of "Samba".
Most bulkheads, dagger board case etc. were made up before assembly of hull panels.	After setting up the cradle: place keel strake into it, located with temporary screws, then the first hull panel.
Wiring up starts from the stern.	Working towards the stem, which is the tough one to pull into shape.
Keel strake/hull panel joints pulled in as far as possible. Later these joints will be closed by using a heat gun on the plywood to assist in bending.	Stem still open, transom placed loosely using temporary screws at top.
Main forepeak bulkhead dry fit. The first gunnel lamination goes on to ensure fairness of sheer line.	Dagger board case and mid bulkhead installed.
