Lining up the bow ( stem post),keel and stern post

[DaveBaxt]

I am currently building the Bounty made by Amati. The instructions say that Stem post , keel and stern post must be fitted after the first layer of planking and before the second layer of planking . The width of the Stem post or as they call the cut water has a thickness of 5 mm as does the stern post . The keel which fits on to the false keel is only 4 mm . It has been suggested on the set of Bounty videos that to make up the difference  of 1 mm the keel should be planked ( second planks are 0.5 mm thick ) My question is :- How is it possible to ensure that these all line up, especially as the hull is already planked? Is there an accurate way of doing this or is it just by line of sight? Sorry for the earlier mistakes.

Hi Dave

 Looking at the drawings of Bounty on the RMG collections site, it appears that the keel was 12" wide (5mm at 1:60) ) so building it up makes some sense, or make a new keel the proper dimension.  If building it up, it might actually be easier to make the rabbet by tapering the top edge of the plank to match the angle of the frames as you go.

Sorry for the delay in thanking you for your input and can see why making the rabbet might be a very good solution, so thanks for your input. Best regards Dave
