STEP-BY-STEP
This assembly manual is divided into four sections: 1. Hull Frame Assembly; 2. Hull Skins &
Profiling; 3. Deck Substructure; 4. Deck Assembly; 5. Finishing; 6. Motor & Radio Installation. All
sections are supported by a build sequence whilst stages 1, 2, 3 & 4 are additionally supported by
an exploded illustration (with numbered parts) for easy identification. To avoid painting yourself
into a corner please follow these steps in precise order. Find yourself a clear, flat and solid surface
for assembly and make sure you have all the components, glues and materials necessary to
complete a stage before starting it.
