These are 4 1/2" squares of 1/4" ply with 1 1/2" squares
in the middle. The slot is in the bottom one to let water drain. Face the
slot aft. Glue these two pieces together. Shoulders are cut in the
bottom of the mast leaving a 1 1/2" square 1/2" long to fit in
the step. Find it's position by leveling the boat - corners of transom and
base of stem should be the same distance from the floor. You can use a
plumb bob from the mast partner, or insert the mast and use a level to
make it vertical. Mark where the step goes. Glue and screw or nail
it into the keel. Make sure glue ooze doesn't obstruct the drain groove. |
