After building the new frame E, it was time to install it in place of the old one. This meant unscrewing all the stringers around the bow, both at frame E and at the stem, as well as removing some sections of the strongback that were getting in the way. Fortunately, this turned out to be relatively straightforward, and I didn't lose too much time getting everything ready. Starting to glue the stringers I then positioned the new frame E, using the laser level once again to make sure it was properly centred and that the waterline matched the plans. With the frame securely in place, the real test began: cutting all the notches for the stringers, this time making sure I didn't repeat my previous mistakes! Replacing Frame E One of the things I learned from the earlier attempt was the importance of checking the stringers' curvature as I worked. I used a flexible rod alongside them to check that they followed a fair curve, rather than simply cutting the notches until the stringers...
