Making up starboard thwart support rail.

Having steamed the rails yesterday and leaving to cool over night, they held most of the steamed shape. 


The next job to do was shape the backs which lay against the hull so the top edge sat level along its length. That way it has the most support on the thwarts as possible   



The aft end scarfed joint to give the best possible strength  


The first part of the rail held in position with props, so when I glue the joint and the back face of the support rail with thickened epoxy it will stay in position until I glass over the rail 



The front rail in position, just got to put a radius on the inside edges top and bottom before gluing it in position
