Day 13 - hull panels in place

A very productive day on the boat. I first had to loosen all the wires on the starboard side of the boat to allow me to realign the hull panel. I then wired up the last port side panel. This picture shows that I have added wires to the temporary frames on the port side to suck it up to the frame and hold the shape.




Finished adding additional wires to the starboard side to give the hull it's nearly final form.










This is a closeup of the internal temporary frame and the wires used to hold it in place. The area that is shiny is the but joint with the hull panel pieces.









After adding an additional temporary bulkhead to the bow and stern, I then attached some support frames to the temporary hull frames. Before I flipped it over, I used a hot glue gun to set the temporary frames in place. I'll be removing the wires after I get joints glued in the next day or so.





Here's a shot of the hull taken from the bow. The picture is a bit deceiving. The width of the hull looks pretty wide.
