![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/3/7/2/816372-44121-79-720.jpg)
Assembled the ribs onto the false keel.
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/3/7/1/816371-44121-68-720.jpg)
There was a fair amount of play in the pieces and I didn't pay attention to the ribs square across the top of the false keel. Also a slight bend in the false keel.

Getting the deck on was a job. Didn't do it perfectly...
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/3/7/5/816375-44121-72-720.jpg)
Didn't pay attention to the transom being square!

![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/3/8/4/816384-44121-35-720.jpg)
Started fairing the hull and noticed that I didn't center the bow tip correctly. I think with creative sanding I can correct this.
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/5/3/3/817533-44121-11-720.jpg)
Wrapped sandpaper around a dowel in order to fair the stern section.
