Back in the Day...30 Apr 22:
We are building the row/sail version of the Nutshell Pram, aka "voile et aviron." Sounds so French doesn't it... But first a Shout Out to our long suffering workshop tables...
The plans call for us to make a daggerboard out of the 1/4 inch plywood, laminate 2 pieces together to make a 1/2 inch thick board, and shape to 8 inches wide by 28 inches long. Hmmm, those measurements are close to a vintage Alcort Sunfish or Sailfish daggerboard, so why not repurpose one. The Alcort board is 31 inches long, 3/4 inches thick and 9 inches wide.
Marking the plywood for the trunk sides, used the new daggerboard to make sure the slot would be big enough.
Cut the panels.
