Ken Snyder's build continued: photo 1: lower side panel wired in. 2: bulkhead dry fit. 3: forward, small spreader wired in to hold bottom panels proper spread. 4: wires are closer together forward where more force is needed to bend the plywood. 5: notice spreaders on top of lower panels to keep the sides where they need to be. 6: all bulkheads in, plus transom. Coming up next week: completion of the hull.

This Candlefish 16 with a center console was built by Ken Snyder a dozen years ago. He provided us back then with these wonderful photos. He also provided photos of the build in progress which we'll show next week. The last photo shows his rig for the steering set-up. The 3rd and 4th photos show the beautfiul inlay design he created on the foredeck. Hats off!
