Bow Blocks
 
Use a
plane and sanding block to shape and trim the bow blocks flush
with the balsa sheeting and the keel, as shown.

Use a plane and sanding block to
shape a radius at the corners of the side and bottom sheeting
and the bow blocks. The correct shape of the radius is shown in
the frame section drawings on the right side of the plan. From
F2 to the bow, the radius is so slight that the bow blocks and
sheeting should appear to have a continuous curve from the deck
to the keel, as shown.
Roger's Notes:
Due to the sharp
angle of the bottom sheeting near F2, it is possible that the
edges may fray or leave gaps between the side sheeting. If this
is the case with your model, these gaps should be filled with
vinyl spackle or wood filler and sanded smooth.
