Keelingand Leveling Hull - Columbia Coronado 25 Owenrs Manual

5.1 (continued)
With the sole in place proceed to cut and fit the bulkheads, V-berths, and your
other cabinets. Some of the remaining interior woodwork can also be cut and fitted
at this time. However, depending on the location of thru-hulls, bulkheads, . etc.,
the finished pieces should probably be set aside and only bonded to the hull in the
proper sequence, with the hull to deck joint, chainplate installation, and plumbing
and electrical installations.
5.1.1 Tools Required
In order to do a workmanlike job on your boat you will need certain hand tools
and power tools. They are as follows:
BAND SAW
TABLE SAW
SABRE SAW
ELECTRIC HAND DRILL
RATCHET TYPE SCREW DRIVER
SMALL MITRE BOX
MITRE HAND SAW
HACK SAW
SET OF FILES
SET OF HOLE SAWS
5.1.2 Keeling and Leveling Hull
It is suggested that you purchase your kit with the keel installed. Since the keel
represents approximately 50% of the weight of the hull it is very difficult to
handle without heavy equipment that a boat builder has available and which is not
normally available to the amateur builder. If you have not had the keel installed by
Sailcrafter then it should be installed first. This is accomplished in accordance
with Section 5.8.
