Building the strongback and frames


This boat is built from plans received from Bateau.com. The name of the design is GT23. I have decided to reduce the size of the boat from 23' 6" to 22' and so asked for the plans in metric to make the conversion easier.
The panels for the sides and bottom have been cut and assembled and are standing on the floor to the left and right of the frame. The bottom panels will be set in place, joined in the center (keel) with plastic wire ties and then the side panels will be hung off the bottom panels and joined with ties.
