Seven Keel frames fitted to the hull.
6 mm pilot holes have been drilled through the keel and frames
Today I fitted the keel frames to the hull of my Didi 40 Cr to check that they were all true. In the process I drilled pilot holes for the keel bolts to ensure that they are in the middle of the frame. Now that the fitting is complete the frames have to be returned to the workshop to have the doublers added to the front face and to be reinforced with glass. Only then will I be able to fit them permanently in the hull.
