MEASUREMENTS!
To establish the height of the sole, measure!
the distance on the plan at the centre bulkhead, that!
is the one in front of the pilothouse, and establish!
its height on the bulkhead itself. The sole in front!
of this bulkhead should be installed level,!
regardless of where it meets the other bulkheads. The!
other soles, the one in the pilot house and the ones!
forward are determined by noting the difference in!
height shown on the plan. Remember that tho sole!
should be as level as possible.!
MATERIAL!
We recommend that only mahogany be used to make!
the soles. The underside will be subject to humidity and!
mahogany is mildew and termite resistant and well suited!
to this use.!
CROSS MEMBERS!
First, bolt and glue a 2" x 2 n to the bulkhead at the height that was decided for your sole,
leaving 3/4" for the plywood and 1 / 4 " for the teak facing. Then, do the same thing at the
next bulkhead. However, if there is more than 3 feet between bulkheads, you should install
a support in the centre. The width is divided by three and two 2" x 2" mahogany beams
are bolted longitudinally.!
