Temporarily pin one chine log to each, notch in F4, as shown.
Bend the two chine logs into position on F3, F2, and F1. If the
frames are correctly aligned, the tops of the chine logs will
make contact with the tops of the notches in all of the frames
and the chine logs will be straight. If everything is correctly
aligned, remove the chine logs.

Roger's Notes:
If there is misalignment, the chine logs will not contact the
tops of all of the frames, or they will be bowed. If there is
misalignment in your hull, break the glue joints between the
keel, F2 and F3 only by slipping the point of an X-Acto® knife
into the joints. If necessary, deepen the slots in the frames
with an X-Acto® knife. Re-glue these joints in their new
positions. Then, remove the chine logs.
CORRECT
INCORRECT
Roger's Notes:
Steps #37 through #51 explain the installation and gluing
sequence that insure that the decks and frames are correctly
aligned. Follow these instructions exactly as presented.
This will reduce the chance that you will introduce a warp into
the hull.

Finished Assembly
Insert the keel into the
notches in F2, F3 and F4.
Press the
transom against the keel. Slide the assembled sub-deck and
frames forward, or backward, until the sub-deck contacts the
transom. Mark the position of the frames on the keel with a
pencil. Then, remove the transom.

Place a square
against the bottom of the sub-deck and the side of the keel, as
shown. Align the frames with the pencil marks on the keel. Glue
