Building the 'Samba': Continuing with the build of "Samba".
Mid bulkhead and main forepeak bulkhead are glassed as well as the chines between them.	At this stage I wanted to check the hull shape and cut the slot to size with the router.
The dagger board slopes aft, so the router needs to have sloped skids fitted.	Right side up again. Next there are two more forepeak bulheads to fit. They are important in pulling the bow into shape .
Copper ties are used to pull the hull panels up to bulkheads. Again the heat-gun is used to help with relieving tension in the hull panels.	With the panels pulled in, the last full bulkheads are glassed in.
A view of all main bulkheads fitted. The transom was glued in at an earlier stage.	All chines have been glassed on the inside.
