Malabar I Schooner Project

I'm about to try and build a working scale model of the Malabar I Schooner.
All I have is an empty hull and a set of old drawings.
Wish me luck.

So....
here we go...

First I need a flat, stable reference platform, with station marks and a centerline:

 

Then I built the keel support based on the drawings I had:

 

To make the rib supports, I traced the hull outlines at 5 of the 12 stations:

 

Then cut out pairs of rib supports to support the hull and give me reference marks at deck height.
