Figure 231.—Temporary lashing of side piece to keel:

Figure 231.—Temporary lashing of side piece to keel:

a, the "companion" section (4) is fitted against the left keel flange (1) and the stern piece (2) which is already temporarily lashed (3) by its completed flange. Holes (5) have been bored through the keel flange 3 inches apart. At alternate holes, the companion piece is marked with the midrib dipped in charcoal, passed through the hole in the keel flange. The section is removed and slots (6) cut in such a way that the lower parts form flanges (7) which will be opposite the marked spots. Holes are bored through from the marked spots to meet the angle of the flange and the bottom of the slot. The lashings are made by the continuous loop technique. b, Cross section of keel and thick section (4) showing the slot (6) with the lower flange (7) fitting against the keel flange (1).
