The math

Putting it all Together
Once you have all the pieces, you can begin the really fun part -- putting your boat together. This is where we need our pencil, a ruler and the scotch tape.
Mark center frame line 75/16" (or 4- 11/16”) away from the bottom of stem (along the bottom and transom) on the inside face of one of the sides. (The inside face has the drawings of the frames and seat riser.) If you were building the full size boat, you'd be measuring back 75".


Draw a line straight across the side (from the bottom to the top) from this point


Put the two sides on top of one another and transfer the center frame line to the un-marked side. (Make sure you mark the inside.)


Now, take the two “sides” of the boat and tape them together at the edge labeled “bow” (the taller and steeper angled end).


Next, fold the center frame as indicated on the pattern, and tape it together at the top. Make sure the drawings face out.


Now go to Building, part 2.
