Main hull frames stern







Here is a view of the main hull frames, from the transom. Notice all the ventilation holes in the frames. These holes would allow free passage of air, from one compartment to another. 

The transom was interesting to build. Although you can not see it in these pictures, the transom has an outside curve of about 4 inches at the bottom and more at the top. This all had to be built out of individual pieces of wood, sanded and shaped to allow a smooth curve for the plywood skin. 

All frames are ½ Crezone fir plywood. Most larger frames have a 1 X 4 KD fir edge piece to add thickness to mount the stringers into. All glue used to attach frame edge treatment and to attach stringers was Systems Three epoxy. Each frame has been coated with epoxy.
