Some frames have to be fitted with 4 x 4 mm
reinforcing rails at specific locations: these parts are cut
from the 1000 mm long spruce strips in the kit; the
instructions state the actual length and position of each
one.
Please take care not to mix up the front and rear (bow /
stern side) of the frames. All the frames are numbered,
and the printing is on the bow face. These parts are not
symmetrical, and are therefore not interchangeable.
The solid lines represent the reinforcements on the
bow face, the dotted lines those on the stern face.
The drawing alongside shows where the bow-side
reinforcement (31) has to be fitted to frame 3, part
(30). The rail is 150 mm long and - like all the rails - is
positioned centrally on the frame, in this case
immediately below the openings.

This illustration shows where the stern-side
reinforcements (32) have to be fitted to the same
component (30).
The vertical strips are 75 mm long.
Please take care to position these rails accurately: they
should not be fitted flush with the slots, but spaced
slightly away from them (~0.5 mm). This allows for minor
widening of the slots (by sanding) when the bench-seat
is installed later.

This drawing shows where the bow-side reinforcement
(22) is to be fitted to frame 4, part (21).
This reinforcing rail (22) is 153 mm long. Fit this rail, and
the rail on the opposite face, flush with the top edge of
the frame.

This drawing shows the position of the stern-side
reinforcement (23) on part (21).
The rail (23) is 194 mm long.
