Lay pieces 27, 28, 31 and 33 on your worktop, which you must remove from laser
sheets 3551 and 3552. Find their position in the joints along stern keel 5, 4. Warning:
bulkhead 27 is not symmetrical; the central joint must be oriented towards the port
side of the model (see detail).
023
Glue the first two crossbars 35 in the central area of the hull, in the upper joints
of bulkheads 23, 22, 21, 20, 19 and in the two supports 21a (red arrows), as shown
in the picture.
021
Move to the stern and in the same way glue pieces 33 and 31 in the joints on keel
5 as shown in the picture above. Leave to dry thoroughly before continuing.
020
Apply wood glue inside the central joints of the bulkheads, then insert bulkheads
27 and 28 in keel 4 and 5 and glue them. Check that they are parallel to the bulkheads
already applied and perpendicular to the keel (if necessary, use a set square).
022
Prepare crossbars 36 (x2), 35 (x2) and 34 (x2), which you must remove from laser sheets 3550 and 3551 and glue to the central structure of the hull in the internal joints
of the bulkheads from 26 to 15. Lay the pieces on your worktop as shown in the picture, with the joints pointing towards the outside.
