Chine Supports
The chine supports have a very important role in
keeping the bottom of the boat straight and flat.
The chine supports are marked CS, and that mark
should face out on both sides. The lettering for
“PRO VEE” should be upside down as well.
You will be gluing the chines to the edges of these
supports.
It is important that the chine supports not protrude
past the chine edge, so that you can sand the
chines later (see drawing).
Glue in the chine supports. Make sure that
“CS” is
facing out. Glue them to bulkhead 5, then 4 and 3.
Chines
Next, we will install the Chines. Make sure you
follow along closely, as these are very important to
the final shape.
When fitting the chines to the notches in the
bulkheads, they should be flush with the top (and
bottom) of the bulkhead.
This is important as the chines set the angle for the
top and bottom sheeting.
