: I've built a couple S&G kayaks before but I am now trying to build one
: without commercial plans (foolish me). Things have been going along pretty
: well until the now, the stitch it together phase. I've got the sides wired
: together at the ends and the bottom panel loosely stitched down the
: center. It's time to stitch the sides to the bottom along the chine and I
: could use some advise.

: How do you keep things aligned? Do you start in the middle and work towards
: the ends? How do you keep the boat straight while you wire it together? It
: would seem that a little misalignment and the whole thing will go out of
: wack pretty quick.

: Any websites with details on wiring together? I found a couple about
: assembly, but not much detail.

: Thanks!

My long term memory returned after a couple cups of espresso. I proped the sides to the max width and started wiring from the bow. Looks like it is going to work out OK.
