or straps of the same wood can be 
screwed to the forward ends and the 
corner blocks to the after ends. 
The stern piece requires a board 12 
inches wide and 4 feet long. The radius 
of the deck curve is 8 feet 1 inch and 
! of the bottom 6 feet 10 inches. The 
j width at the ends is, of course, the same 
i as the side pieces. The deck and bottom 
I frames are sawed out of %-inch oak and 
' are one inch wide. The easiest way to 
mark them out is to make a pattern of 
I thin wood for the deck frames and an- 
I other for the bottom frames. One pat- 
j tern will do for each set and 23 of each 
are needed. 
When the bow piece is cold and dry 
tack a strip across to hold it, cut the 
ends to proper length and screw on the 
side pieces by means of the butt straps. 
Be sure that the straight edges of all 
three pieces are on the same side (the 
top) of the boat. Then fasten the stern 
board in place. 
The cockpit side can now be fastened 
to bow and stern. These are simply 10- 
inch boards and have as yet no shape. 
Their position on the stern board will 
give the height above the sides and they 
should be parallel to the sides. It will 
probably be necessary to tack a couple 
of temporary struts between cockpit 
sides and boat sides to hold the shape 
and a couple of short diagonals will keep 
the frame from weaving. 
Now take up a top frame and lay it 
across the boat. It will rest on the cock- 
pit sides but will not touch the boat sides. 
Therefore the cockpit sides must be care- 
fully notched until the top of the frame 
will come flush with the top of the boat 
sides. The frames fit inside and are fas- 
tened by a nail through the boat side 
into their ends. Also a nail is driven 
through the frame into each cockpit side. 
y^HEN all the deck frames are in 
™ place the cockpit sides can be 
planed up flush with them and the edges 
beveled to fit, after which the boat is 
turned over and the process repeated. 
The planks are put on in one length and 
should not be over four inches wide. 
The curvature of the frames gives just 
the right kind of a caulking seam tight 
on the inside but open on the outside 
and it will hold the cotton or wicking 
in good shape. See that the outside 
planks are well fastened to both sides and 
frames as they will then hold the boat 
well together. 
Before planking the deck cut out the 
frames in the cockpit opening, and fit 
the combing after the planking is fin- 
ished. The joint between cockpit sides 
and deck and bottom should be water- 
tight and the notches for the frames can 
be caulked if necessary. 
Get four corks two or three inches in 
diameter and fit them as shown in the 
deck so as to be able to pump out the 
v^arious compartments. 
Row locks are fitted up on blocks as 
shown and a large eye forward for the 
anchor rope to go through. The rope 
leads into and can be handled from the 
:ockpit. 
The boat should be camouflaged and 
kvill need some ballast to sink her to 
about the deck edge. This is best pro-
