| Manual Layout |
|
Our assembly manual is designed to guide you through
the kit building process even if you are not familiar with wood working
tools or boat terms. We've designed the manual for quick reference
and as a "working document."
Lay-flat binding, the manual is spiral bound large format 8
1/2" x 11" designed to allow you to lay the manual flat on
your work bench for easy reference without it closing up and having
to constantly
thumb through pages to find information.

Section
call outs, at the beginning of each section list the tools
and materials needed to complete the section. This helps you
avoid frustration beginning a process only to find that you
do not have the right tool or materials to complete the section.
|
 |
 |
|
|
| |
|
Each section
call out covers the definitions of terms used in the section.
Everything from "bow" and "stern" to "keel
line" and "coaming recess."
