cockpit roof into position on these parts
until the Slow CA cures (about 20 seconds). The cockpit is now
complete.
Roger's Notes: I did my
cockpit roof a bit differently. The pictures below how I
did the cockpit roof on my model.
Back in Step #190, the
cockpit roof was being aligned to the roof structure. Here
is how I changed things a bit. I used four clamps to
lightly clamp the roof in place.

After I marked the cockpit sides and removed the extra material
from the roof, I sanded the roof. I sanded the roof to
match with the cockpit sides.

I did not leave an overhang as shown in the manual. I knew
I was going to glue the roof in place and a smooth joint between
the roof and cockpit sides was more important.
When I removed the roof, it was primed, painted and readied
for attachment to the boat.

Stain the
pre-cut winch backboard with mahogany wood stain. Use Slow CA to
glue the backboard to the deck, against the coaming toe rail, as
shown here and on the plan.
Drill a ⅛"
hole through the center of the winch stand. Then, paint the
winch stand and about 6" of the ⅛" x
⅛" x 24" basswood strip with white paint.
Roger's Notes:
The painted basswood strip will be used later to make the legs
for the winch stand.
 
After painting
the winch stand, use a sanding block to make a 45° bevel on one
edge. Attach the winch drum with the bolt and nut, as shown.
Roger's Notes:
Do not glue the winch stand in place yet. Put the winch stand
and painted basswood strip aside. They will be installed later
in construction.
Test-fit the
cockpit roof on the beams and top of the windshield. If
necessary, adjust the tops of the cockpit roof beams and
windshield with a sanding block so the cockpit roof fits tightly
in place. Then, remove the cockpit roof.
Apply Slow CA to
the top edge of the windshield frame and to the tops of the
cockpit roof beams. Press the |
