Hi Peterbro, you have found an excellent solution to align the frames well on the keel.
I completely agree with ChrisF. I also designed and then made a series of holes (square and round) aligned on the frames, as well as many openings. I passed through the holes: fixed wooden spars (to reinforce the structure and create supports for electronic setups and other); removable wooden spars (for central alignment check); electrical cables (since they were heavy they were placed at the bottom). ▲

Always a good idea to put some holes through the bulkheads before assembly whilst it's nice and easy. As Ronald says a Forstner bit makes a nice neat hole - I have a set of different sizes for that.
Even if you don't use the holes it takes a bit of weight out of the frames. ▲

Peter,
"I just wasn't sure what I'd need for the forward ones, so I just left them for now." When in doubt - ream them out๐ ๐ ▲

I'm probably going to try for a sailing version, so you're right I'll have to put some holes in the bulkheads at some point.
I'm planning on putting some holes in the no 4 & 5 bulkheads before assembly, but tbh I just wasn't sure what I'd need for the forward ones, so I just left them for now. That could turn out to be a huge mistake, but it'll be a learning experience if nothing else. ▲

Are you making a static model or sailing version? If sailing, you may need to create openings inside some of those frames. A scroll saw will easily do the needed work, a coping saw will too though that is more hassle. You can also use a Forsner drill bit to make a nice round hole, making sure you are using a wood backing plate to prevent breakage and tear out.

Hi there, I just bought the same kit from Sarik and it arrived yesterday. I remember there was a similar vessel at Portpatrick Harbour late 60's early 70's.So I look forward to keeping up with your progress and any tips. Cheers

American Multihulls Mag had 4 ways to build foils, (& keels), on nett? I like 'roll fronted' metal 'faired' 'V' shaped mould. Waxed & 'V' closed after 1st. layer of cloth & or tissue glass is off. Like 3 D printing, almost cheating, Re fairing & finish. ๐ค Uumm! 'B J'.
