Apply glue to the contact points

between the gunwale and the bulwarks,

and hold the gunwale in place until

the glue dries to make sure it fits the

curvature of the boat.

Test-fit the gunwale on top of the

bulwarks, engaging it with the keel at

the bow.

Glue the rudder to the centre of the

transom with the top sticking up past

the gunwale. Glue the tiller over the

top, as shown.

anchors. Close the ring and secure the

two ends together with superglue.

as shown in the photo.

Apply superglue to all the joints, so that

the grating becomes one single piece.

199

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Place a ruler over the strip and cut

from one side of the widest point to the

opposite side at the end of the strip, to

create a wedge shape.

Place a 2 x 5mm wooden strip next

to one of the wedge-shaped gaps, with

one end aligned with the tip of the gap.

Mark the widest point of the gap on the

strip, as shown.

Test-fit the wedge into the gap in the

hull. You may need to sand the wedge

to get a better fit in the gap. Once you

have the correct fit for the wedge, glue

in place with superglue.
