| Forward deck is first ruffed out leaving the edges ~ 1" proud. | After gluing and screwing down with 3/4" screws, the outside edge, hatch opening, mast hole and dagger board opening are routed out using a straight bit. | |||||||
| More pieces of Sycamore installed mid ship for reinforcement for the rowing oar locks and blocks. | Fore, aft and mod decks installed and trimmed. | |||||||
| Another look at the Sycamore carlen deck beam knees. In the middle of the knees you can see the reinforcement for the oar locks. | Here you can almost see (upper right) the sister beams/pieces installed where the decks butt together. This provides a larger surface to epoxy to. You can also see the mortised end of the aft kink plank, skeg screws | |||||||
