This is not essential to the design but will certainly save time and may solve other problems some builders may have with restricted space or transport problems. Assembly is in three easily handled parts so that the majority of the work is done from floor level. Each hull can be fitted with bulkheads and part bulkheads, cabin soles, fit-out, transom and decks. Chainplates, rudder, engines and deck fittings can all be installed. Painting can also be partly completed.
Final assembly is to make the join at bridge-deck, at the deck and across the bulkheads.
Then this area filled, sanded and painted. Full cut in steps can take a long time to make. Here we have one main top step each side and the lower ones are external. The topside panels are brought together to form the stem without further dressing up as we like to do on the standard cruisers. The saloon top is a simple developed panel without the usual compound curve forward.
