Hull
Preparation Cont.
Using Plan Sheet #1 and
Figs. #9 and #10 as a reference, remove the surplus fiberglass
from the boat deck sides; mark and cut out the six freeing
ports; the angled rebates where the large rear bollards will
fit; the V-shaped section in the transom and the five holes for
mooring rings AC26. Note that the rear deck support strips
are level with the top of the D-section rubbing strake molding
on the outside of the hull, and the lower edges of the rear
freeing ports are 1.5 mm above this line (so that the rear deck
will be flush with the freeing ports when fitted).

After I marked the location of the freeing ports and
bollard rebates, I then cut these areas out. I first used a
drill bit to make the radius cuts then used a steel ruler to
aide me in connecting the holes. I also used the steel
ruler to aide in filing the cut outs.
