Cement K-1 to K-2 for each half of the keel. I used Thick CA.  Note that the inside and outside edges form a straight line at the splice.

 

  Cement the right and left keel halves together with a slow setting epoxy. Clamp or weight the keel to a flat board until dry. Be sure the frame notches line up properly. When dry, clean any excess glue out of the notches. Reinforce the splice with scrap ply and then clean any excess glue from the notches.

Inspect part 14.  Note the smoothest side.  This will become the outside of the transom.


(Note the picture above.  The voids are on the side that will be the "inside" of the transom...  or where I will apply the epoxy to bond 13 and 14 together)


(Note how clear the other side is.  This will become the outside of the transom)

  Cement 13 and 14 together to form the transom. Nail or clamp to a flat surface until the glue dries and then clean any excess glue from the notches.

NOTE:  Do not use nails, nails can split and weaken the plywood.
