A do-it-yourself plywood motor boat is interesting to many of our compatriots for two reasons - creative nature and lower cost. Despite the apparent complexity of the project, it can be understood and implemented.

But for this, such a factor as your desire to do this is extremely necessary. In addition, what you did on your own will be morally more expensive for you, so stay tuned and we will show you more videos in this article.

We make a small boat

Note. We will not consider a specific design, for example, do-it-yourself drawings of a folding plywood boat.
Our goal is to tell you about general principles and methods of manufacturing small boats.

Necessary materials and tools

Choice of plywood:

• to make a boat out of plywood with your own hands, you, of course, will need this very plywood, only of different thicknesses;
• for the hull you will need a sheet thickness of 5 mm, but for the keel and frame you will already need 10-15 mm of thickness(choose the length of the panel depending on the length of the case);
• as you understand, quality products are needed here, therefore, you will have to choose either elite E or 1st grade for work- the price, of course, will be higher, but the quality will rise along with it;
• moreover, it is important, on which the water resistance and strength of plywood depend - the most the best brands here you can name FSF or FSF-TV (combustible), FB and BS (aviation - also used in shipbuilding).

Solid wood:

• for the design of the sides, mounting the seats and arranging the spacers inside the hull of the boat, you will need solid wood;
• pine edged board is best suited for this purpose - it is lighter than larch, but due to the resin content, it tolerates getting wet well.

Suture material:

• to tighten the body and connect other parts into an integral structure, suture material is needed here;
• for this you can use thin steel or copper knitting wire, thick nylon fishing line or plastic clamps.

Tightness:

• in order for the boat not to leak, all seams must be sealed with water-repellent glue - on this moment there are a lot of them for sale;
• as practice shows, compositions based on polymer resins are best suited for this purpose;
• fiberglass is also used to seal the seams - a tape from it is put on glue along the joint;
• it is also possible to use fiberglass for this purpose, pasting the sides and bottom with it;
• to protect against swelling, water-repellent varnishes and adhesives are used, impregnating the body and lintels with them - for this you can, for example, use bakelite varnish or glue;
• In addition to impregnation, you will also need polymer paint, which will complement the moisture resistance and decorate your boat.

Tools:

• to make a boat with your own hands from plywood, of course, you will need tools and, first of all, this is a circular saw and / or an electric jigsaw (a hacksaw is also useful);
• a set of hand carpentry tools in the form of a hammer, chisels, pliers and the like;
• grinding disc or belt machine;
• tape or steel clamps;
• paint brushes for applying impregnations and paints and varnishes.

Choosing a drawing

Important!
Before you start assembling, find the drawings that are right for you - how to make a boat out of plywood with your own hands, it can be a flat-bottomed boat for fishing that you will use on the weekends or a kayak for camping trips while on vacation.
But if you are already experienced in “shipbuilding”, then you can try to draw such a project yourself, but here it is very important to calculate the carrying capacity so that the craft does not capsize during operation.

Modern stores offer big choice vessels for fishing and tourism, but many lovers are closer homemade boat made by yourself. It will not only save a lot, but will also become the pride of its owner, not to mention the fact that its design will provide for everything you need and exclude everything superfluous. To assemble such a craft, you can use plywood or natural wood.

Terminology: what the boat is made of

The keel is the main element of the hull, which is the basis for securing all parts. The bow of the boat is called the stem, on the opposite side of the structure there is a sternpost. Together they provide the required rigidity. The transverse parts that provide hull bending and rigidity are called frames.

The sides are formed by boards located above the stem and sternpost, which, when the structure is installed, are connected to the frames. The prepared hull is upholstered with plywood on top, and a special flooring is made at the bottom of the boat, which is called slan.

Materials and tools

A do-it-yourself plywood boat will delight the owner for a long time if you carefully select the raw materials for its manufacture:

• Plywood is the main material used.
• Wooden boards 25 mm thick are used for seats and struts. Soft, porous types of wood are suitable for use.
• Copper wire (2 mm) is suitable for intermediate connection of sheets.
• Polymer adhesive or fiberglass, which are water resistant, help to seal the seams.

Of the tools you will need:

• pliers;
• screwdriver;
• scissors;
• wood saw;
• electric jigsaw for wood;
• Sander;
• clamps (at least 3-4);
• brushes.

Manufacturing steps

There are several ways to make a plywood boat. But regardless of the model chosen, the construction consists of the same steps. Their consistent implementation will create a beautiful and functional boat.

Drawing selection

Drawings for manufacturing are quite easy to find, but you should decide in advance on the desired size and number of passengers. For beginners, it is better to choose non-separable models, as they are easier to manufacture.

You should not independently develop a drawing without being a specialist, since in this case the percentage of failure is very high. The selected drawing is made on paper, all dimensions are checked, and then transferred to plywood and the body is cut out. The next step is assembly with the obligatory gluing of the case.

The main dimensions of the boat and types / shapes of boats

Boats have been used for many centuries, so there are models that are quite possible to make without large-scale production on your own.

The canoe, the fofan boat, the Russian tuzik and the marine sailboat have double curvature rims that are difficult to manufacture. For self-manufacturing boats with single curvature rims are much more suitable.

A skiff-type punt boat is good for calm inland waters. It is easy to manufacture, reliable, they are especially light - a boat 4 m long will be lifted by one person.

A dinghy boat is suitable for sailing in less calm water (2-3 points). It is distinguished by a bow transom-forespiegel and a keeled bottom. Such a boat can easily fit on the trunk of a car, weighs up to 50 kg.

Dory - the best choice for the lake or the sea, as it is very resistant to waves.

Plywood characteristics

It is worth giving preference to plywood that is resistant to moisture and the effects of aggressive factors (FB or FSF).

To avoid delamination, it is impregnated several times with a water-polymer emulsion, be sure to dry between procedures.

How to connect two plywood for lengthening

Finding very large sheets of plywood is quite difficult, so craftsmen make strips of the required length on their own. To do this, a mustache is planed with a planer, which is carefully polished with a special machine or sandpaper, and then the junction is glued with epoxy glue. To test the strength, a small strip is rolled into a ring, while the plywood should burst anywhere except for the joint.

The main methods of joining plywood and wood

Two options for connecting parts are used: sewing and assembly.

Scythians are a do-it-yourself boat made of plywood, the drawings of which are often given in detail. They are sewn on special tragus, placing the most durable seams near the nose, since it is more subject to stress than anyone else.

Parts are assembled on flat surface. For its implementation, frames are cut out, making grooves for the keel in advance. Frames with frames are installed vertically on the frame, rims, keel, stem are fixed. From the keel, they begin to attach the skin, performing further construction after removing the frame from the frame.

Paddle boat drawings

It is not necessary to take a ready-made one; if you have drawing skills, you can build your own. For the greatest accuracy, it is recommended to use graph paper. When designing, do the following:

• draw an axial line;
• draw a top view and a vertical projection;
• frames are drawn through an equal distance;
• check the dimensions and symmetry of the parts;
• smooth bends are carried out along the marks from the side to the keel, using a ruler.

Boat drawings under the motor

Note that home-made plywood boats for motor drawings have similar rowing and sailing boats. The type of stern differs, since the engine is installed on it. Modern models are made with niches filled with foam to avoid flooding when capsizing.

How to transfer an image from templates to plywood

After making sure that the drawings are correct, they are transferred to cardboard to facilitate the marking process on plywood. There is no need to make any allowances for the details of the drawing, but it is allowed to draw larger futoks, reducing them during installation.

Technological stages of manufacture

The following steps can be noted:

• transfer templates to plywood;
• draw details with frames;
• place the keel;
• fix the stem;
• fasten the stern post (for a motor boat, a transom board);
• lay plywood on the bottom;
• beat the sides;
• glue the joints of parts;
• putty, paint.

The greatest attention should be paid to the correct transfer of the drawing, the strength of the joints and the quality of their sizing.

We make the inner contour of the futoks

The rigidity of the entire structure depends on the strength of the fastening of the futoks. A floortimber and two futoxes are integral parts of the frame, while the floortimber is located on the keel and is the base to which the bottom is attached, and the futoxes are fixed to the sides. To increase the strength, a wider junction of the latter is provided, which is especially true when designing a motorized watercraft.

stem material

His complex structure provides strength, since the main load is on the bow. Materials for the manufacture can serve as oak or elm. Ideal with a natural curve. In its absence, the element is assembled from smaller parts. First of all, the part is cut out according to the shape of the body, then the edges are grinded, ensuring a snug fit.

Keel design

The easiest item to make. The most commonly used board is 3.5 m long and 25-30 mm thick.

side boards

It is worth giving preference to flat boards, 5 meters long and 150 mm wide. It is necessary to choose flat boards that do not have knots and rotten places.

Boats made of plywood under the motor features

Do not install a powerful motor in order to increase speed. This upgrade will waste fuel, endanger but will not speed up the boat. Boat type drawings always indicate the power of suitable motors.

trans

Its purpose is to fix the motor, while it is recommended to use a board with a thickness of 25 mm. When plywood is used, it is glued until the required thickness is reached, and, if necessary, reinforcement with a bar is allowed.

We sheathe the frame of the boat with plywood

The procedure is performed in the following sequence:

• using the drawings, they cut the necessary parts from plywood;
• the frame is laid, placing the keel on top;
• all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned;
• coat the joints with glue;
• line the bottom, fixing with a stapler, and after fitting - with nails;
• bead parts are checked for tightness of joints and nailed.

We use glue

The use of glue is necessary to fill the seams. They glue all the points of contact of the parts, be sure to cover up the places where the nails were hammered.

Fiberglass bonded over plywood improves strength, speed and durability. Glue it from the keel to the sides, avoiding the formation of bumps.

Apply varnish

If fiberglass was not used, then varnish can be used to cover the boat. It is applied with a brush evenly over the entire surface. It is recommended to perform this procedure in warm weather for better impregnation of plywood with varnish.

We paint the boat

Before puttying and painting the surface, it is worth waiting for the fiberglass to dry out. It is preferable to putty with a ready-made synthetic mixture. On top of the dried putty, you can apply a primer and a layer of paint or directly a couple of layers of paint.

Exploitation

The service life of the boat depends on proper operation.

Do not store it in water, as this will encourage rotting. After fishing or walking, you should immediately raise it to the base. It is believed that boats last longer in salt water. An important role is played by the quality of the materials and the thoroughness of the processing of the joints.

In case of damage, it is worth immediately cutting out all wet plywood and replacing it with a patch of a suitable size. In dampness and moisture, plywood is destroyed, so it is recommended to store the boat indoors. Winter storage for outdoors fraught - insufficiently dried wood splits under the influence of osmosis.

To prevent rotting, annual seasonal processing, preparation and prevention of the hull are carried out. With good careful care, a homemade plywood boat will delight for many years.

When do you need to register a boat?

To avoid problems, the finished boat should be registered by submitting the following documents to the State Inspectorate for Small Vessels:

• the passport;
• act of technical examination;
• receipt of payment of tax for registration;
• registration card;
• registration application;
• checks for payment for materials used.

If necessary, sample documents can be found on the Internet. Those living in the outback often ignore this point.

Making a plywood boat is not too difficult. Right choice materials and following the instructions will help to make a quality boat. A little trick will help increase the strength of the structure, it will be enough to place the wood fibers along the body in the manufacture of parts. With proper care, it will please its owner for a long time.

Not every angler can buy a watercraft, because the products are sold at high prices. And also not all models can meet one or another request of the buyer. The most budget models are rowing or motor rubber boats, but, as a rule, they are unreliable, and in case of damage during fishing, an unpleasant situation will occur. Meanwhile, fishermen and swimmers increasingly began to make homemade boats with their own hands from wood or plywood.

Features of a homemade watercraft

From modern building materials you can build a boat for 2-3 people. Homemade boats for fishing can be equipped with oars or a motor. Some put sail on the boat. Installing a motor on water transport is not difficult, but you need to understand that if you constantly visit small lakes or ponds, then in this case the presence of a motor will be impractical.

Craftsmen for making a boat with their own hands mainly use bars for the frame and plywood for sheathing the structure. If you are a fan of swimming in large reservoirs, then it is quite possible to build a full-fledged boat with a roof. This will also require plywood, timber and galvanized metal. To increase the life of the boat, treat the tree with antiseptic agents and paint it.

The boat is equipped with a motor in the event that the vessel was made with high quality. Because when swimming at a solid speed, the structure can fall apart. However, a wooden boat is much better than inflatable models. Fishermen often swim into difficult places with snags, and for a rubber watercraft, this can result in a snag on branches and a hull rupture.

Tools and materials

First, find a large space to work in, such as a garage. Secondly, if you work in winter, the room must be heated. Also, the room should not be high concentration moisture, otherwise the plywood will not dry out, but rot. As a rule, coloring is done on the street. To make homemade boats from plywood for fishing use the following tools and materials:

The most expensive is plywood and timber, the rest is much cheaper. Electrical equipment can be borrowed from neighbors.

Parameters and details for the product

Rowing craft can be built at your discretion and own dimensions. But according to the technology, building a boat with your own hands will be made of plywood 5 mm thick, it is recommended to use the following parameters:

• total width not less than 110 cm;
• the length from the beginning to the end of the structure is 450 cm;
• depth is 50 cm.

All structural details are attached to the keel - this is the basic key element. The back of the boat is called the sternpost, and the bow is called the stem. Due to these elements, the longitudinal rigidity is enhanced. These basic parts can be made from solid wood using a jigsaw. And the cut parts are connected with glue or self-tapping screws. Do not fix parts with nails ^ this is an unreliable method.

Frames are transverse load-bearing structural elements that form the hull of the boat. By connecting the sternpost, stem and frames, the sidewalls of the craft will be obtained. At the final stage, the frame of the vessel is sheathed with plywood. The inner part of the product is equipped with a slate - this especially applies to the bottom, which should be protected as much as possible.

Motor designs

The scheme of a motor vessel practically does not differ from rowing and sailing models. The only thing is the back of the boat, on which the propeller motor is attached. This part of the vessel must be strong and reliable so that the motor does not come off the structure during navigation. Craftsmen recommend using a transom board for a boat motor.

Modernized ships are being equipped additional elements- stringers, side stringers, cockpit and deck stringers. In order for the boat to be unsinkable and stable, it is necessary to create a layer between the outer side of the frame and inside. This void is filled with mounting foam. In the event of a capsizing of the vessel, flooding and sinking to the bottom will not occur. Therefore, experts strongly recommend using such a trick.

Creation of drawings

Drawings are an integral part of the work. Because the whole process always begins with well-designed schemes intended for self-construction. If it’s difficult for you to draw sketches or you don’t want to, use ready-made diagrams, which are full on the Internet. When drawing up drawings, be as careful as possible and do not miss any detail. Make several sketches of the future boat according to the following rules:

The main task: draw all the necessary details and indicate their dimensions. The third drawing is a sketch. On it you must draw appearance boats, in order to have an idea what kind of watercraft you get at the exit.

Template making

So, do-it-yourself plywood boat pattern drawings have been drawn up and now you have to make a template that is designed to transfer the shape of the bottom to plywood. You will need to find sheets of cardboard and connect them with a stapler. Then, armed with drawings, you should draw the shape of the workpiece on paper. Then cut off all the excess and attach the template to the plywood sheets and circle it with a pencil or pen.

If the boat is made of solid wood, then you need to copy the pattern not against the direction of the fibers, but along the fibers. In this way, possible defects can be avoided. For plywood sheets, the direction of the fibers is random. Because this material is made by pressing wood shavings. in plain language: The bottom can be marked in any direction. But the template is mainly intended if you are going to build a punt boat.

Sequence of work

As in any other business, the entire workflow is carried out in stages. The boat is no exception: to make a quality construction, you will have to follow certain steps. How to make a boat out of wood - technological steps:

As you can see, the workflow is laborious, but it's worth it.

Staged assembly

Prepare all material and tools. Check everything is correct electrical equipment. Also, when working with wood, you must have protective equipment: gloves and goggles. Be careful when cutting material with a circular saw.

Frame assembly

First of all, cut the bars for the sidewalls - futoks. Then other bars are prepared, which will later form the sides of the vessel and the lower part. The bottom can be made according to the technology of building ships, that is, a rounded triangular shape, you can also build an ordinary punt. Then prepare the bars for the bow and stern.

The next step is to make the nose. Take a few spacers and two long beams. They must be connected from one end with screws. Then a bar is attached to the other side - this is the back of the boat. The part is also attached with screws. Then, in the middle of the back bar, attach another bar in a vertical position.

The made boat frame needs to be shaped in the form of a bullet. Take a couple of spacers and fasten them across near the bow. Then the frame is turned over with the bar up, which was fixed on the back and lay the axial bar, which will serve as a supporting part for the futoks - stiffeners.

To do this, fasten one edge to the bar, which is on the back - its height will be 50 cm, and put the other edge of the bar for the bottom at the nose of the frame. Now screw two short bars to the sidewalls and the central bar, stepping back from the edge of about 70-100 cm. You need to bend the fixed edge of the bar to make it arched. Then it must be screwed at the bow of the frame.

Fixing stiffeners

So, the frame is done and now you need to install the stiffeners. For these purposes, you will have to use spacers, one spacer is installed for each pair of stiffeners. This is necessary so that the sidewalls are rounded. As a rule, bars are used with a small diameter, capable of bending without much reinforcement.

Work starts from the stern. Screw the first bar to the sidewall, and then the second to the other side of the future boat. Now a spacer is installed between them and two ribs are fixed to the central bar. Try to carefully bend the material, otherwise a fracture may occur.

The stiffeners should be mounted in 30 cm increments. When you get to the bow of the boat, do not remove the installed spacers yet. Measure the depth of the boat by 20 cm. Mark the two sidewalls. You need to fasten two long beams along the sidewalls, which will more firmly connect the stiffeners. Then install several spacers between the two along the passing parts. Remove the rest of the spacers.

Now you need to strengthen all the joints. Take advantage metal corners and self-tapping screws. In the bow, step back 50 cm from the edge and screw the jumper. Also, the nose must be strengthened and at the very edge, drill a hole with a drill, and then tighten the structure with a bolt and nut. After that, we can assume that the skeleton of the ship is ready.

Sheathing frame with plywood

In this step, turn the boat upside down and begin to sheathe the sides. It is necessary that the applied material is fully adjacent to the stiffeners. Plywood is fixed with self-tapping screws. There should be enough material to reach from the top of the sidewall to the bottom of the boat.

As a rule, sheets are produced in sizes of 150 cm, so there will be at least two joints on the boat. The lowermost edge of the boat will turn out in the form of a rounded triangle. Along the entire length, you will have to fix a strip of zinc with a width of at least 50 cm.

After the outer skin, take a few cylinders of foam. It is necessary to foam the layer to the width of the bar. Foam in all places and do not leave voids. Then make the inner lining. To prevent the boat from being too heavy, use chipboard sheets for the inner lining - they are thinner and lighter than plywood.

Gluing joints and painting

In the end, you will have to glue all the joints of the outer case. The seams are filled to the extent that the adhesive begins to flow out. For best effect, apply a layer to the docking points silicone sealant. This will protect the structure from water penetration.

At the last stage, the watercraft is painted with water-repellent paint. But before that, inspect the case for chips and cracks. If there are such defects, then they need to be covered with putty. Some craftsmen glue the entire body with fiberglass, and then paint it. The primary primer layer is applied and the secondary - color.

Now the motor is installed and it remains to wait until the structure is completely dry, after that check the homemade product by swimming on it on the lake. If you find any faults, fix them.

Attention, only TODAY!

Do-it-yourself plywood boat, drawings and stages of its construction.

Let's look at the picture of the presented model in the context:

Breshtuk - wooden beam 114x60 (mm)
frame - plywood 16 (mm) thick
sternpost - plywood 16 (mm) thick
kilson - wooden beam 30x80 (mm)
bottom - plywood 6 (mm) thick
board - plywood thickness 6 (mm)
handle - chrome-plated tube with a diameter of 16 ... 20 (mm)
floor - planed board 20x100 (mm)
deck - plywood 6 (mm) thick

A little about the material used:

Structural plywood
two types of sizes: 6x1500x3000 (mm); 16x1525x1525 (mm)
longitudinal arrangement of fibers
quality grade "E"
polished on one side "Sh1" (6x1500x3000)
unpolished "NSh" (16x1525x1525)
moisture classification “FB” or “BS”

Overall dimensions of a plywood boat

Let's start with the manufacture of: breshtuk; five frames; sternpost; kilson

Install on the staple and fix the breshtuk; five frames; sternpost

We insert the kilson into the grooves, having previously lubricated the contact planes with glue, and let the structure dry.

Take the cardboard and bend it along the plane of the sides and draw the outline of the side.

Take the cardboard and bend it along the plane of the bottom and draw the contour of the bottom.

After making sure that the measurements of the contours are accurate, we transfer them to plywood and carefully cut them out. We should get four parts - two left and two right, and the right parts are a mirror image of the left.

Fastening start from the bottom.

Using brass or galvanized screws and epoxy glue, we fix the parts cut out of plywood to the frame of the structure. After the glue has hardened, we level the contour with a grinder.

Attach the sides in the same way.

joints plywood parts fasten as follows:
1. Drill along the joints, at the same distance, through holes with a diameter of 3 (mm).
2. Insert a nylon cord into the holes.
3. We tighten the parts together.

After the glue has hardened, we level the contour and the joint surfaces with a grinder.

From above, by analogy, we fix the deck. Align the joint surfaces.

We will glue all the joints with two layers of fiberglass and let it dry.

It won't hurt if you fiberglass the entire hull.

We will finish the body and paint it in an interesting color.
For structural rigidity, from the bottom of the seat, we will strengthen wooden blocks at both sides.
Let's lay the boards on the floor. Install metal handles on top of the deck.

If you are an avid fisherman, or simply cannot imagine a warm season without rest on the water, then a small river boat will be a very appropriate purchase for you. However, finished products of this type cost a lot, but a homemade plywood boat is quite simple - so it makes sense to spend some time mastering the technique, and then with minimal cost means and forces to assemble a small skiff, kayak or punt.

In our article, we will describe the manufacturing process of such a structure, starting with the selection of material and ending with the finishing technology.

What we need

Set of tools

Getting started, we should take care of having all the necessary tools.

In principle, the set will require a simple:

• saw on a tree (disc or reciprocating);
• electric jigsaw with a set of blades;
• grinder with nozzles for processing plywood;
• drill and drills of different diameters;
• screwdriver;
• clamps for fixing the parts to be glued;

• hand tools - hammers, pliers, chisels, etc.
• measuring tool - tape measure and level.

Work is best done in a free garage or workshop. In principle, parts can also be assembled on the floor, but it will be much more convenient to work if we construct special goats from timber and thick boards, on which all the elements of our future boat will be placed.

Selection of materials

Plywood boat projects, abundantly presented on the Internet, involve the use of the most different materials. We will consider one of the more simple modifications, since it is better for beginners to practice techniques on simple samples.

To build a ship we will need:

Drawings of the boat and transferring them to the material

Before proceeding with the purchase of materials, we will need drawings of plywood boats. Building a punt or tourist kayak scheme on your own is worth it only if you have sufficient experience and you clearly understand what size boat you need and what design it must have. It's better for a beginner to use finished project Luckily, it's easy to find it online.

So, before making a boat out of plywood, we proceed as follows:

1. We make templates based on drawings desired shape and size from wrapping paper or old wallpaper.
2. A plywood boat pattern is applied to wood panel and circled around.
3. Similarly, templates are used to mark the boards and beams from which the inner frame will be made.

When transferring dimensions to workpieces, we are likely to encounter difficulties. This is related to the fact that standard size plywood sheet (maximum 3000 mm in length) is often less than the planned dimensions of the boat. In this case, we need to master the technique of gluing plywood:

We adjust the ends of the two parts to each other.

1. Gently weave the edges to a length exceeding the thickness of the sheet by about 7-8 times.
2. The resulting bevels are lubricated with carpentry or polymer glue and securely clamped with clamps.
3. After complete polymerization of the glue, we get a fairly long sheet with a strong “whisker” connection.

Method of work

Boat hull assembly

In this section, we will tell you how to make a plywood boat yourself using blanks, drawings and templates prepared as described above.

The instruction assumes the performance of work according to the following scheme:

1. First, using a jigsaw or reciprocating saw, we cut out all the details from plywood. When sawing, we try to act very carefully, strictly observing the dimensions - even a discrepancy of 1 mm can lead to the fact that large gaps form when assembling the sides, and we will have to perform a laborious adjustment.

1. We cut the frames from a thicker board, or glue them from several layers of plywood. When gluing, the mass of the part will naturally increase, but this will not affect the buoyancy of the structure much.
2. Rowing boats made of plywood are made with a standard stern board (transom), but for a motorboat you need to install a more durable part. Quite often, the stern transom is made multi-layered: plywood 8-10 mm + fiberglass + oak board about 15 mm.

Advice!
Multilayer parts are sometimes additionally tightened with self-tapping screws.
In this case, the length of the fastener is selected in such a way that the caps are deepened by about 0.5 mm, and the sharp edges do not protrude.

1. We install the glued or solid transom on the goats or workbench and apply to it. After that, we fix the parts with clamps and bring the plywood sheets on the bow, forming the outline of the boat.
