| Planks are scarfed together in pairs to help get a perfect match. Stepped scarfs simplify the alignment and gluing process. |
| With just a few planks riveted together the shape of the hull begins to appear. |  |
 | When both halves of the hull are assembled with rivets, they are ready to stitch together along the keel, making a complete hull. |
| Temporary clamps hold the planks together at the stems, and the completely assembled hull is ready to have it's inside plank laps and keel joint filleted |  |
 | When the epoxy fillets are cured the hull's shape is defined and the rivets can be removed. |
| The hull is turned over and the outside laps are epoxy filled and filleted, further locking the hull into it's final shape. |  |
 | After the garboards and inside keel are fiberglassed, the hull is ready for sanding, painting, and finish woodwork. |
