Fitting the ply to the first chine. Except for the first sheet the ply is located using treenails (Trunnels). The sheet adjacent to the diagonals has a lit of twist. Brute force and Spanish windlasses pull it into place.
The travelling tackles work well for carrying thes large sheets. I am able on my own to lower them directly over the trunnels before touching the frames. This will be necessary so that I don't scrape the glue off when manoeuvring the sheets. All sheets are off now to trim to size / shape then the gluing starts.
