  1. Greg, I really haven't figured that out yet. Before I unbolt the model from the building board to fair the hull, I intend to mark and frame the gun ports, ventilation and sweep ports, which will aid in strengthening of the hull. I will fair the inside of the hull and mark the location of the deck clamps and maybe install a few for strength. I then intend to unbolt the hull, add the keelson, then fair the outside of the hull and put in the frame bolts/fastenings. I then need to figure a way to secure it back on the board to continue the build. I should probably embed nuts in the keelson to receive bolts from under the building board? Regards, Clay

  6. Thank you gentlemen. Greg, I am leaving the top timbers a bit long so I can cut the ports and the sheer in a "seaman like manner". Regards, Clay
