Much more exciting work on day 2 as it meant cutting bits and pieces out for the actual boat (as opposed to the frame).All we did is plot out the frames full size and transfer to the plywood bulkheads (6mm marine ply). As the hull shape is straight lines at the bulkheads it was very much a join the dots exercise. The lightening holes were done in a similar manner just with handy radii in the corners (e.g. paint pot lids).
After marking out the bulkheads we scored along all the edges with a knife. Although rather a dull process it mean that we got very little splintering when we cut out with the jigsaw.
We marked a 500mm Waterline and the CL and then matched these up to the same marked points on the frame. A quick check with a spirit level and soon we were looking like we had a boaty shaped thing in the yard
