Welcome.  The following set of pictures and text detail the construction of a weekender.

Here are two shots of the finished boat for reference as the construction pictures unfold.

Construction steps

Laying the Keel

The keel of this boat was to be an oak finish to contrast the white hull.  The keel is made of three layers of 3/4 plywood ....G1S flat sliced oak for the outside two layers and construction spruce for the inner layer.  Exterior layer butt joints are offset with the inner ones.  Layers are held together with countersunk screws and oak bungs to cover them.

The bottom of the keel is covered with a layer of oak comprised of 3 butt jointed pieces. The forward piece was soaked in water overnight then clamped in place to match the profile while drying.  The 2.5 inch wide layer of 3/16 thick oak was epoxied in place with slighly countersunk brads to hold it while curing,  then trimmed flush with the 2.25 inch wide keel using a roundover router bit. 

Now the bottom and sides of the assembled keel are given a layer of epoxy and then a couple coats of marine varnish for UV protection.  Finished keel looks as below as it is being attached to the hull bottom.

Next chapter will be the hull construction....preview as above.

The Hull

The inside of the hull bottom is oak to match the keel and trim so it made of 1/2 G1S flat sliced oak.  Stringers were screwed and epoxied to the outer edge to facilitate joing the hull sides. The hull bottom is epoxied and screwed to the keel and has the same oak bungs covering the countersunk screws as the keel laminations. The topside of the hull bottom is marine varnished and the bottom side has a coat of expoxy then white marine enamel.

Next comes the stern, which is joined to the hull bottom stringer with epoxy and screws. In the background is the deck which has been cut from 3/8 Baltic Birch plywood. It has more layers than regular plywood of the same thickness and no voids. 

Now the deck is positioned on the stern and the top of the keel and epoxied and screwed in place.  Underside of deck is prepainted with wihite marine enamel as well as the inside of the stern. Bottom side of deck has stringers epoxied and screwed in place prior to mounting on stern and keel top. The cans of paint and clamps are to ensure proper surface contact for the epoxy while curing so that the sheer of the deck matches the angle of the stern stringer and top of keel.

Now the three bulkheads (forward, rear cabin, and lazarette) are  epoxied and screwed to stringers already located on the underside of the deck and top side of hull bottom. The bulkheads are prepainted with white marine enamel. The oak trim around the openings in the forward bulhead for access from the cabin to the anchor locker are done before installation on boat.

Last, cut the hatch opening on the forward deck for access to the anchor locker and the opening for the mast.  The deck is now complete.  

Next chapter.... the cabin.
