Neal McCoy Posted October 27, 2014 Share #1 Posted October 27, 2014 I am working on the model Bluenose kit #2130. I have been advised to add on to the keel in order to give more room for the rabbet. I have made a peace 1/4 to do this and can take it down more if needed . My ? is the stern post do I extend it to reach the bottom of the keel or let the keel extend lower than the stern post and rudder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhermann Posted October 28, 2014 Share #2 Posted October 28, 2014 I'm not sure where that advice came from. I can only tell you that I didn't add anything to the keel former when I was at that stage of the build, and I had no trouble with cutting the rabbet or getting the planks to lay into it. Since nothing was addded, there was no need to extend the stern post. I strongly suggest you start a build log and post some pictures so we can see what you are up to - it will also help as questions and problems come up in the build (and they will ) 2130 has been a fun and challenging kit, well worth the effort.
