Hi,

Does anyone have any tips on getting the frame centered inside the hull of a
Feathercraft K1 during assembly? I end up spending a good deal of time
fidgeting with trying to get the keel bar and deck bar centered on the
fabric, only to have it nowhere close when I do the final spreading of the
bars in the cockpit. This results in having to loosen the bars again and
fidget for another 10-15+ minutes trying to get it centered again.

The entire boat goes together effortlessly except for this one issue, which
I'm spending a good 20+ minutes on in construction time. Any tips/tricks
from the expert folder community is most appreciated!

TIA,

Woody
