In Response To: Strip: keel strips? (Rob)

: I've got about 7 strips now, up each side from the sheer, on my
: Spring Run build. So far so good. I'm using staples since this
: is my first build. Pretty spastic with the stapler and my
: staples are not lined up well at all! Oh well. Anyway, I want to
: run a few full length keel strips soon, and fill in from the
: bilge up to those.
: However, I'm not sure how to position these strips at the keel. Do
: I run them over and then beyond the inner stems? Any good pics
: or suggestions?
: I've been snooping for build pics but, haven't foudn good ones yet.

Check out the video on this page, I think it's what you are looking for.
