This week we’re going to shape our cutwater, stem head and fasten on our guards. But first we need to make some final adjustments to the boat, we’re actually going to plane back the outboard edge of the plank down a quarter of an inch before we attach our guard in order to help tip the guards in. Once on the boat we’re also going to plane a quarter of an inch off the outside edge of the guards a quarter inch from the top tapered down in order to make them plumb if they were to come up again a dock or another boat.
