I wasn\u2019t sure which side was front\u2026but then it became obvious (initially I had it flipped the wrong way). It only aligns up one way, and the front (bow) has a nice sweeping line, whereas the back has a flat end.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"IMG_7719.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_7719.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 7719\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The sides were then stitched to the bottom. I ran out of copper wire. The instructions recommend taking the wire as a roll and cutting it into thirds to generate wire pieces that were 2.5-3\u201d long. However, this produced some slightly longer pieces, and because of that I was short a bit of wire. Luckily Home Depot sells it, and for $5 I had 25 more feet of wire.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"IMG_7721.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_7721.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 7721\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Next the hull is flipped right side up and you setup some sticks to remove any twist in the body..<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"IMG_7726.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_7726.jpg\" alt=\"IMG 7726\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s going together a lot faster than I expected!
