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.
