The picnic boat is now on the building strong back and leveled up in both athwartships and fore and aft, so that all the measurement can be taken off for the fitting of the engine beds and the floor bearers will be true and level.
The strong back as been used to build my Mai Star Class dinghy in the past, So while we do not have a Mai Star Class in build at present it is being used to help with this refit of the picnic boat.
The strong back is just the right length to fit under the picnic boat so that the aft end of the keel can be cut away to fit the stern tube log and build a new section of keel around the log to support the stern tube log when it is fitted
The aft end being supported by a tower block of sleeper block fixed together to make up the height needed
The boat is now levelled and ready to get underway with fitting the floor bearers and engine beds
