I have started the next sneak box and thought I would share the progress and ask some questions in the process.
As you can see the stringers and molds boards are in place and I have clamped on the sides for initial fitting.
The design has been changed as follows;
Boat is one foot wider with all other dimensions proportional
Slope of hull bottom has been changed from 1 in 8 to 1 in 6 rise
Skeg is out and Transom is 2" taller to accomodate outboard
Note the width change made the bow significantly wider

I won't be able to do much now until it warms up a little and I can use glue
Any thoughts on the changes would be appreciated
Thoughts on glues - what 'soft setting' glue would you siggest for setting ribs to keel? What glue would you use for 'general adhesive work - deck to ribs and hull etc.
......
Thanks
