Hey can anyone help with a question about stringers for the C19, I just started and realized the stringers are to big to be made from a single 8ft length of ply. But my plans don't have anything about building them in pieces. What am I missing?
Thanks

Re: C19 build.. Stringers!
All our stringers are made in several pieces from 2 layers.
Look at your plans, nesting drawing. The seams between the 2 layers are offset.
Glue then 2 layers together and you have one long stringer.

Re: C19 build.. Stringers!d
I don't have a plan labeled "nesting drawing" is it missing?
The only plan I have referencing stringers is "structure- stringers & transom."
It shows the stringers as two pieces. There is a reference BL 1'-8" and BL10 which I also cannot find.
Thanks!

Re: C19 build.. Stringers!
Ok I'm definitely missing plan D210/7 expanded panels- nesting. Is there an electronic copy I can have emailed?
Re: C19 build..
Ok stringers sorted, next issue is transom angle. The instructions say there's a diagram for the transom supports on jig that give the correct angle, which I'm not seeing. I guess I can fudge it using the angle on the back of the stringers..
Can someone fill me in here please

Re: C19 build.. Stringers!
The angle of the stringers and the side panels will define the transom angle.

Re: C19 build..
Great thanks guys! I'm hoping to raise molds this week, I'm sure you'll be hearing from me. Hopefully I'll get some pics up.
Re: C19 build..
Help required for mold heights! Am I to assume I can use the distance from bottom of molds to baseline in plans as my reference? Example can I pretend the top of my jig is the baseline and line up molds the specified distance from that point?
Re: C19 build..
Another question guys, what hardwood is recommended for transom? Can't I use plywood and resin?

Re: C19 build..
I don't know about the molds but the transom uses plywood and epoxy glue. The plans will give the thickness of the transom and what thickness to use.
