Building the Hull
1. Print out all piece sheets.
2. Cut out one keel piece and glue it to a piece of balsa wood or dense cardboard. Cut out the second keel piece and glue it to the
other side of the balsa wood. (This is your keel)
3. Or glue the keel to a blank piece of paper. Cut the blank paper out around the keel piece to create a two layer keel. Repeat this 4
or 5 more times to get a rigid, sturdy keel.
4. Cut out the Main Bulkhead and the forward bulkhead.
5. Glue these to a piece of balsa or use step 3 to get solid bulkheads.

6. Cut out the Hull, Top Deck, Boat Bottom and Inside Transom.
7. Glue the Boat Bottom (printed side up) to the inside of the Hull Bottom (Non-printed side) *This will reinforce the Hull and
show where the bulkheads go.
8. Glue the Separate Hull sides to the inside of the main Hull Sides. (carefull to keep glue below marked line)
9. Glue the Separate Transom to the inside of the Main Transom. (carefull to keep glue below marked line)
10. Glue the Top Deck Over the Top Deck Bottom.
11. ***The placement of these pieces being glued onto themselves is very important. You might want to fold the glue tabs up
to help align the pieces.

12. Glue the Hull bottom to the Keel.

13. Fold up the Hull sides, Transom and Glue Tabs.
14. Working from front to back, glue the Hull Sides to the Hull Bottom.
15. Glue the rear Glue Tabs on the Hull Sides to the inside of the Transom.
16. Make sure you do not glue the front of hull sides to the Stem yet.
Top Deck and Bulkheads

17. Glue the Forward Bulkhead to the bottom side of the Top Deck along line. Be sure it does not cover the hole for the mast.

18. Fold all Glue Tabs on the Top Deck down.

19. Tuck the rear glue tabs in between the inside and outside Transom and
glue.

20. Working from back to front and alternating sides, glue the Top Deck Glue
Tabs between the inside and outside hull sides.

21. Do not glue the Forward Bulkhead down to the Hull yet.

22. Position the Main Bulkhead in place. The bottom of the Main Bulkhead lines up with the line on the Boat Bottom. The Deck
Supports line up with the rear end of last inside Glue Tabs.

23. Cut out the Seat Assembly.

24. Fold on the lines to form the cockpit seats and Glue the tabs of the Seat
Back to the Bottom side of the seat Bottom.

25. Place the Seat Assembly inside the Cockpit of the boat.

29. Glue the center of the Cabin Sides to the forward center tab of the Top
Deck.

30. Working from front to back glue the Cabin Sides to the Top Deck.

31. Cut out the Cabin Roof.

32. Glue the forward center of the roof to the forward center tab on the Cabin
Sides.

33. Working from front to back, glue the roof to the cabin sides all the way
back to and including the Main Bulkhead. (Once the roof is on you will
need to trim it to the desired amount of overhang you would like.)

34. Cut out the Cabin Hatch and Grab Rails.

35. Glue the Grab Rails to the Cabin Roof where indicated by the dotted
lines.

36. Glue the Cabin Hatch to the Cabin Roof at the desired amount of
opening.

Sails and Rigging

parallel to the front of the Cabin.

45. Glue the Bowsprit to the front deck so that it is against the mast.

46. Cut out the Main Sail.

47. Split the Glue Tabs down the middle

along the lines. Separate the tabs so
that they fold to either side of the sail.

48. Wrap the bottom tabs around the boom

boom go beyond the forward edge of
the sail. This allows room for the Mast.

49. Wrap the top tabs around the Gaff and

glue. Again leaving room for the Mast.

50. Wrap the forward tabs around the Mast

and Glue.

51. Glue a piece of string from the top of

the mast to the tip of the Bowsprit, then to the center of the Stem. This is

them and they make it easier to hide the ends of the strings.) 1 2 3

53. Fold the Dead Eyes in half along line. Glue one side of the deadeye to the
side of the Hull where the vertical shroud mark is. Repeat on opposite side
of the boat.

Deadeyes and back again.

55. Glue the center of the string to the top of the Mast running from side to
side.

56. Glue one end of the string to the Deadeye on that side of the boat and glue.
Fold the Dead eye up the rest of the way and glue.

57. Repeat on the opposite side.

58. Cut out the Jib Sail.

59. Fold Tab back along line and glue to the Forestay between the top of the Mast
