Chine glued to stem
The chine has been the toughest thing so far. Lots of work for little visible progress. I was trying to attach it from the transom and working forward but this is just about impossible so I started at the stem. Took ages to get the right angle where it meets the stem, then I couldn’t get anything to hold it in place while I drilled the screw holes and glued it. Eventually I got it to stay in place using rope wrapped around a couple of clamps and a strap. I put a heap of epoxy all over it and screwed it down, so hopefully this will hold when I twist and spring the chine round the other frames.
