The deck is turned on its back (the hatch is then on the right in the direction of travel), the deck joists and the
cross beam are fitted and primed.
The hatch supports (44 a - e) for crane and boat hatches are manufactured from the 10 mm wide lasered
ABS strips. They are to be cut to length according to the plan and glued in place with superglue.
First lay the cross member (41) flush against the rear edge of the deck cutout and dimension the length so
that part (41) on the right and left is about 6 - 8 mm shorter than the deck width.
Glue with acrylite. Position the deck joists (42) flush with the cross member (41), saw in at a depth of about 3
mm at the "K" mark on the bend in the deck cut-out, carefully adjust the strip to the bend in the deck cut-out
and adjust the length. Now glue the deck joists cleanly with acrylite. When gluing, ensure that the deck rests
flat to prevent warpage.
Proceed as described with the hatch support (43). Here, too, the edge distance 6 - 8 mm must be
maintained. Select the position according to the plan so that the width of the rail reaches half into the escape
hatch and half into the boat hatch. Glue with acrylite.

Release and glue the top bulkhead (45). Glue the support (46) for the main deck in the left and right corners.
The front deck support (47) is adapted and glued according to the drawing. Prime the wooden parts well.
Make sure the seat is at a right angle. The completed main deck is now ready for installation in the hull.
Fit the deck exactly into the hull and on the support strips (2) and insert. Tighten the hull with rubber rings so
that it fits the deck without gaps. The bulkhead (45) must adapt precisely to the curvature of the side wall.
Place a drop of superglue in the joint between the hull and deck, starting on one side. By swivelling the entire
hull accordingly, allow the glue to run all around the joint between hull and deck. After one hour, repeat the
procedure again so that the joint is securely sealed and glued.
Foredeck:
As described for the strips (2), the 4 x 4 x 300 mm long ABS strips are also cut, adapted and glued here as
deck support strips (48). The markings for this have already been marked.
The balsa triangular strip (49) is used as deck support in the bow area. Depending on the radius of
curvature, this should be cut into pieces of approx. 10 - 30 mm in length. Glue the pieces in individually and
sand the deck surface carefully flat and horizontally.
The auxiliary rubbing strake (50) 2 x 2 mm is glued on the outside after marking, as described for parts 3.
Proceed particularly precisely in order to achieve perfect all-round bonding.
Prepare the foredeck (51). The part is carefully removed from the laser cut, as is the circular lid (52). Sand all
edges. In the bow area, a bevel must be ground so that the deck lies in the hull later without gaps. The Ø 8
mm holes for the anchor tubes are already drilled. Later they are then bevelled through the side of the ship to
their final size.
Align the bearing ring (53) on the underside of the deck and glue it with cyano. Primer and glue on tailored
deck joists (54).
The finished foredeck is fitted in like the main deck, held down with rubber rings and blocks and carefully
glued in with superglue.
Now the anchor tubes (55) can be installed. Use a Ø 4 mm drill to find the direction between the hole on the
front deck and in the side wall and then drill carefully in steps Ø 5 - 6 - 7 mm.
