First gunwale assembly
Picture shows first assembly in formers, the edges of which are at 13 degrees from the vertical. When set at this angle they give the boat its classic sheer.
The front of the gunwales have been trimmed at an angle to take the stem piece later. At the stern a block will be fitted to take the stern piece as the gunwales come together there at a wider angle. After having a good look at the set up I decided to take just half an inch off the beam so that it will now be 23" - it had seemed too beamy. Along with checking the sheer I will feed the dimensions of the wood back into the the Freeship programme as the wood takes its own shape.
