Default RE: Sterling 48

Progress has been made. Screw hooks were modified and installed in the hard points under the deck I previously glued in. I traced one of the cabin sides on to a long piece of paper and had Kinko's scan it in to a TIFF data base. I brought this in to AutoCad and designed my own. It was cut from 3/32 plywood and fit in the hull very well. Some 1/4 inch spruce was added to support the center deck and cabin cross pieces because none of the tabs and notches lined up. I sanded off all the tabs and then some to get a good dry fit. As soon as I am satisfied with the fit, I'll epoxy the center pieces in with the assembly on the hull to make sure that nothing shifts around. It's beginning to look like a Corvette.
