Mine were a snug fit, but didn't need any sanding. However, wood is a 'live' material and slight changes in size are to be expected. I wouldn't worry if you just had to sand a little to ease the fit.

Has anyone got part 6 yet i have and the bow sec 23 is quite a bit thiner than the rest of the hull by a good 1/2 to 1 mm had to file no 16 down so the reinforcing 24 will sit flat. This also razes the problem will the ribs 25, 27 fit at the correct hight or will work have to be cared out no them also john

I.e. the bottom of the hull if flat and true. You could always add some thin strips of card or strip of veneer to fill any gap between the frame and the top of the keel plate. Does that make sense - if not I'll post a photo to show what I mean.

Thanks Mark the other ribs seem to fit but i am not going to fit rest of the rib,s until i can get the hull of the gig. Then i can fit then with it upside down to make shorer the top is flat. Like i sead the rest seam to dry fit OK but do not want to jet it wrong so will sit on my hands till the rest of the hull is out. Will be hard but i think it is best to do it that way nice weather may go and sail my other boats to day.Have a bit of fun and try to get sum Vid of my destroyer on the water ;D

do not glue the hull frames with the hull upside down! the bottom plates have the same height over the whole hull, but the height of the frames icreases slowly towards both ends of the hull.

Quick question Iv just stared building,Iv drawn a line down the center of parts 3 and 9,i lined them up but on 1 side of the hull floor part 9 buts out about 1mm or so from part 3 even as i have a straight line all way down the middle of the hull, will i need to send down that side hull so it finishes flush with part 3 or will it be ok to leave.
all advice would be very helpful
cheers paul :)

Hi Paul,
Double check your lines to make sure they are exactly down the middle.
The matching edges of parts 3 & 9 should be the same width, but from what you say, yours are slightly different ?
As long as the centre lines are correct you shouldn't have any problems. The whole frame will need to be sanded before you start planking, so I would just leave it as it is until then. When you sand the frame, you will chamfer the ends of the frames so that the planks sit flat against them. Just remember to make sure the planks follow a smooth line around the join of parts 3 & 9.

Markus thanks for that could have made big booboo glad you pointed that out put straight edge on and can see thanks. PH have you put a line in the middle of your gig the sides should run in line ... ;D john

I have noticed on mine that the keel pieces are starting to go upwards, when I rest it on a flat surface its sloping upwards, any one else notice this.

Don't worry guys - it's suposed to be like that. As Markus mentioned, the deck curves up towards the bow and stern. As long as the keel plates are flat it's OK.
