Hi guys

I'm very new to boat building and thought I would give it a try

Anyhow I've glued the ribs, keel and built the jig

Only I'm having a problem with the ribs they seem to be out of alignment

I've posted some pic showing all the ribs (not 5) put together on a spare piece

If more pics needed not a problem

Could you use your expert eye and take a look please












cheers guys Malcolm

Malcolm

Are you referring to the staggered shoulders on the ribs?

There are that shape because the hull is curved

Take a look at the official build forum and it will be more obvious

If I`ve misunderstood your question, please be more explicit

Hi Malcolm... don't think you have a problem here as the lower deck does rise slightly (about 2mm) towards the stern.....

Hope this helps you...

Regards

Alan
