The building jig set up ready for use.
The bow of the boat is to the bottom right of the graphic.
The following parts or assemblies have been set in position on the building jig:
- bow transom;
- bow tank centreline bulkhead;
- bulkhead B and mast step assembly;
- bulkheads C, D and E;
- stern transom.
The two side shells have been added to the previous stage.
The bottom shell has been added and the boat has been turned over for applying the internal fillets.
(The two cross members of the jig have been removed as they don't do anything this way up and get in the way of applying the fillets.)
The following internal parts have been added:
- sheer doublers (2);
- skeg doubler (1);
- side rubbing strake doublers (4).
(Bulkhead E omitted for clarity.)
The boat is turned upside-down to fit:

- the centreline rubbing strake (1);
- the side rubbing strakes (2);
- the leeboard rubbing strips (2).
The boat is turned the right way up.
Prior to fitting the tank tops, bearers have been fitted to the side shell in the bow and stern tanks.
The tank tops of the bow and stern tanks, and the centre panel of the mid tank top have been fitted.
Bearers have been fitted to bulkheads C and D and to the side shell sheer doublers to support the sloping sides of the tank top.
The sloping side panels of the tank top of the mid seat/tank have been added.
The inwhales, gunwhales and bow rubbing strip have been added.
The following minor parts have been added:
- doubler on transom A for painter eyebolt;
- doubler on bulkhead B for mounting cleats;
- leeboard doublers on sheer doubler in front of bulkhead C;
- leeboard doublers on sheer doubler behind bulkhead C;
- leeboard doublers on side shell;
