: Stern is another matter entirely. Pieces don't come together at all - this

Michael - here are some photos of the construction of my SC-1 last summer at Cape Falcon. Details are probably similar to the F-1, but I can't guarantee it. There are several photos of the stem and stern construction, which may help, although they were taken before final shaping. Your build looks pretty promising so far, hope the boat winds up as sweet as mine is. Carl
