Now I am a little daunted by how to actually achieve the result. I am thinking that a spokes shave might be a useful tool to have to put the bevel on the frame. Thankfully they can be bought quite cheaply. The second photo shows the strips lying on top of Frame 6, and the angle of the required bevel can be clearly seen.
A running commentary on the building of a Glen - L designed runabout. The design is called a Monaco, and is reminiscent of the power boats of the 1920's and 30's. It is a little over 19' and made using the "Cold Moulding" process. This photo shows a Monaco similar to what I am building. This one was built by Rich Coey and is a beautiful example. For more photos have a look on the links page.

Guide battens
Tonight I dragged out about half a dozen long thin strips I had left over from making the sheers and clamped them to the hull. What needs to be done is now infinitely more visible, and thankfully more or less what I expected from yesterday's research.
