Last update: dec 2 2007

I have purchased the strips already sawn with bead and cove. Because of the strong tumblehome feature of this boat, I requested 4 strips to be made narrower (1.5cm instead of 2 cm) to give me more flexibility in working round the sharp bend..

I first cut off bits from the narrower strips and some regular strips and worked out how they would best fit round the bend and thus determine the exact position of the first strip.
