ALOT Step 1

To make the construction of ALOT easier and quicker, the hull sides are made of 1"x 12"x 12 white pine boards.  This eliminates the need for adding fastening strips if thinner plywood is used for the sides.  It also eliminates the needs for sheer rails for stiffness.

Take some time to pick nice pine boards.  Look for boards with as few knots as possible, boards that are straight and do not have excessive cupping.

The white pine boards were aligned using clamps, then the 15 degree angled transom was cut using a jigsaw.

Tools needed: Sawhorse, measuring tape, clamps, jigsaw, pencil.
