Before assembly can begin...


All of the hull panels need to be beveled on the Shearwater model. This will help mate them together much better than hard corners, especially at the hull ends where the bevel is more extreme with its greenland style upswept bow and stern. A small hand plane can and is recommended to do this job, a power sander made shorter work of it for me. The bevel may be a little difficult to see in the picture but look closely and you will see it.
