Plywood Side And Bottom
- 4 m and 8.5 m boats
- Determine the depth of the cutout in the frames for the bottom battens in the same way as for planked construction, however it is very important that the straightedge is placed In the same angle to the hog as shown on the previous page.
- Fasten the bottom battens with stainless steel screws 5 x 63. (X) Cut from If required because of twist and bend forward, make this t 68 x 143 part with two lominqfions 15 x 44 scorfed to the oft bqtten.
- Check qgqin bevel at hog and chine by using a sheet of 4 - 6 mm plywood 300 x 1200 and bending ana m / 32 x 44 in position.
- By using a ladder as shown determine the approximate shape of the bottom 44 x 6g\ sheet. Fit the sheet by using clamps and temporary screws and mark the correct shape. Note the transition from butting against the side sheet forward to overlapping the side sheet aft.
- Fix the side panels qnd then qdjust the bevel at the chine
- Fix the bottom sheet
- Bolt the keel to the hog and nail on the rubbing shoe
- Fix chine protection 16x44

The keel can be bolted before or after fixing the bottom panel as preferred
Make the ladder of plywood 4- 6 mm. Glue and nail together.

Glue and nail a piece to increase the width of the rail. By using a pattern draw the rail angle and cut below the sheer batten. Screw the coaming batten to the frames and to blocks at the transom and the stem, Bevel the battens. Fix deck beams forward and aft, the center plank and the framing for the engine well. Nail and glue the plywood in the engine well and the deck. Plane edges and seal with epoxy glue. Nail and glue the rubbing strips, The floorboards are optional except forward. If floorboards are not used, the bottom should be given a non skid coating. Sprinkle fine sand over wet paint in the second last coat. After drying, paint the last coat. Floorboards can also be made of 9 mm plywood ( page 17) After painting, place buoyancy blocks as shown
