RB18 - Unknown parts

Post by JbCarré »

Hello,
I am studying the plans of the Runabout 18. On the 310/5 sheet, I do not identify some parts.
- It seems like there are 4 stringers, but in the rest of the plan, only 2 appear
- The same for the transom part : it's drawn 3 times on plans
Should these pieces be glued to each other to be stonger ? (2 stringers of 20mm and the transom of 30mm thick)

Is this correct ?

Thanks for your help !

The stringers and transom are laminated ply. 2 for each stringer, 3 for transom.

Thanks Caveman.
JBCarre, see how the stringers are placed on the nesting drawing. The idea is to offset the seams between the pieces.

Of course, that's what I'll do ! But now, I only prepare the job with dxf files... I am not yet in the woodworking.
Merci pour votre aide Jacques !
