The deck is done and the ribs are next. I need to heat up 20 ribs in my steam box, bend them, and stick them in their mortises. I then need to install the keel and stringers immediately after the ribs while the ribs are still pliable. The keel and stringers will help the hull get the correct shape. Without them, the ribs will get out of shape overnight. This takes a few hours so I'll have to wait until this weekend when I have a full day in the garage.

These are the ribs where they will eventually go, each cut to the correct length.
