Building the boat up!

With all the parts done we started to put the pieces togheter. And the hull started to take form. We used the stitch and glue technique. I found it very fast and easy to do, it's very impressive how fast the boat just "appeared" in front of our eyes. We used some plastic zip ties, because the planks in foam and fiberglass were not very heavy. Just a little bit of strengh at the pull and the pieces were in place.
It was very nice to see the hull taking the apropriate shape as we put the bulkheads in the right place. The shape was just beautiful!
And is good to see that the guy how made the project did a very good job!
