Center F4 under
the deck and glue it in position with Slow CA so that it is
flush with the inside edge of the deck, as shown.
Roger's Notes:
It may be necessary to bend F4 slightly to obtain this fit.

Remove
the pins from the transom. Center the transom under the rear
edge of the deck and push up on it until the 1/8" square strip
on the transom contacts the sub-deck and the sub-deck is
straight. Then, glue the transom to the deck, keel and subdeck
with CA.
Butt one
5/32" square keel strip against the transom and insert it into
the notches in F3 and F4. Glue it to these parts and to the keel
with CA. Then, bend the keel strip into the notches in F2 and
F1. Adjust the curve in the strip so that its front portion is
parallel to the bottom of the keel, near F1, as shown here and
on the plan. Glue the strip to the keel and frames with CA. Cut
the front end of the strip flush with the front side of F1.

Hull Assembly
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.
Pin the transom
against the keel. Bend the deck into contact with the frames so
that its back edge is over and flush with the transom, as shown.
Then, center the front of the deck on the stem and pin it to the
stem.
Center the deck
on F2 so there is at least a 3/32" gap between the inside edges
of the deck and F2, as shown. Glue the deck to F2 with Slow CA.
Roger's Notes:
In order to ensure a perfect fit, I used a scrap pieces of wood
from the sheet the cabin sides where taken.
