BENDING CHINES

Chines are bent around and temporarily fastened to the jig. This is one of the most difficult parts of constructing the boat. I ended up laminating three pieces of mahogany 3/8 inch thick to make up the 1 1/8 inch chine. The laminated chine should be much stronger than a one-piece chine and it sure bent a lot easier.
