In the last weeks, our team put six bilge stringers to add strength and stiffness to the hull. For each one, we follow the same procedure: The first step is to create a template and transfer it to the carefully selected piece of oak, which we shape into form with circular saws, planers and sanders. Then our team uses a mix of linseed oil, tar and chalk to seal the gaps between the bilge stringer and frames. In the meantime, the piece of oak is being steamed and finally bent and bolted into its place. Video edit: Karoline Hill Music: Buckeye Bonzai by Vans in Japan
