Hi all, I've just finished assembly of the beak platform and I've noticed that it only touches the frame at the front and the deck at the rear. The only way I can gat it to touch all the frames is to bend it, is this correct?
Regards
Luigi

we have not reached that yet in attaching the beak to the hull,so don't worry, I'm sure all will be revealed soon.

hi, it sounds like you may have a distorted beakhead prow, the side pieces should touch all the frames and the forecastle sides,(fo'castle) it may be easier to sand the frames with a long sanding block so that they all line up.

Looks like I'll have to go with the bend option, it's only a couple of mm so shouldn't be noticeable
