Re: Malahini Lumber Joining
You really have two options for the side and bottom planking. You can either scarf the plywood together (which is what I did) or you can butt join them in place (which most people do). If done properly the butt joint is just as strong, will maintain the proper curve, and is (in my opinion) easier th...

Re: Malahini Lumber Joining
Also, for your chines you might consider doing them in laminations (just like the sheer)...best of luck and share lots of pictures. We will be here when you have questions.

Re: malahini vertical transom angle
I did the same Bob...just make sure you set the chine and sheer in enough to leave room for fairing.

Re: chine & frame #4
I found fairing much easier and less stressful than the actual installation of the chines. Take your time and you will do fine. Remember the leading edge of frame 4 will also get faired somewhat as well.

Re: Bottom Member Half - Malahini
I agree with Bob...you could just sister another piece like frame 4. But, if you have the extra wood and time you could just remake them and use the other pieces in other areas. Don't feel bad most of us here have cut pieces wrong, mixed glue incorrectly, and still made it to the end.

Re: Malahini side planking
I honestly don't remember for certain but I believe the side skins at frame 4 are more than 24". You can double check on the full size plans. You definitely do not want to cut them too small!

Re: broken chine fix???
I've been in your shoes! I removed the front third of one of my chines and made a compound scarf joint in place between the front 2 frames...in retrospect it would have been easier to replace the whole thing. Select the wood carefully and avoid pieces that have grain runout or heavy figure...both wi...
