Do not press the bottom panels against the frames, as
this would produce irregularities in the hull skin. Glue
the bottom panels to the frames where they touch, but
without exerting pressure. Sand the hull sides lightly at
the stern to follow the bevel of the transom, using a
sanding block or a file.

Glue the transom 17 to the lower stern former 12. Note
that the transom 17 should project beyond the stern
17
former 12 by about 1 mm; this produces a locating step
for the lower transom 16. Tape the transom 17 to the
hull sides and leave the glue to set hard.
Important: after removing the strips of tape be sure to
remove any adhesive residues with meths. Glue the
lower transom 16 in place, securing it with adhesive
tape in the same way. Apply Stabilit to the outside of the
joint between the bottom panel and the chine stringers.

Round off the fillet of glue using a small spatula or
16
coffee stick. Sand the surfaces smooth when the
adhesive has cured.
TIP:
To avoid soiling the hull surfaces with excess glue,
apply masking tape to the panels adjacent to the joint
Fig. 8
area. Remove the tape again as soon as the glue
begins to harden. Fresh adhesive can be wiped off
using meths.
At this stage the boatstand should be assembled. Insert
the stiffening rails 25 behind the stand sides 24 and into
the front support (22) and rear support (23). Push the
four retaining tongues 26 into the slots in the stand
sides. Glue all the joints, apply sanding sealer, then
paint the stand.
