Remember that this is probably the most important part as well. If you get the
stations squared up well and lined up correctly, then the finished hull will be
true and measure well. A good base makes a good finish.
Keep the sawdust flying and post some photos as you progress. It is good to see
someone else's progress for those in the construction phase.

Thanks for your suggestions guys.
My next job is to epoxy the templates as it gets really humid here in
Summer.It will be good epoxy practice for a novice as well.
I actually ended up using a jig saw to cut particleboard templates as my
skills using a router with a template bit are not good as yet. As Greg
pointed out I also bought MDF which was too thin as well. I will
probably use this to square & stabilise the templates on the stongback.
Some good ideas about the staples there. I will investigate.
At least now I have finished the templates it feels like I am really
into the hull construction phase.
