Building details of Eddies Argie 10 dinghy

The builders plans and instructions are good, photos often simplify the method and build process, so here are a few more that Eddie supplied from his building of the Argie 10 kit we sent him.


The method is named a Stitch and Glue process, the stitches in this case are done with bare 1.62mm copper wire, once the tapes inside have had their epoxy cured, the copper is then removed.

 
Glass tapes and epoxy, very neat Eddie!
 
 
With the epoxy and glass tapes done, the hull is bonded and can be filler faired, then painted, we supply an International Paints painters guide with each kit sold.

 
The hull is ready for fitting out now, seats and mast step strcucture
