Boatbuilding pt. 3

The two midship frames are wired in. Likewise the bulkhead frames which will support the bow and stern seats. The breasthook in the bow, and the quarter knees,  are screwed and glued in place. It doesn't show in the picture, but I have put a thick fillet of epoxy in the bow to take the place of a solid stem, and a similar fillet between the sides and the transom.

So far the project is straightforward. The instructions are B+ clear, and all the precut pieces fit precisely. No great skill required, but I would never attempt such a complex hull shape except through a kit like this.
