Build a Greenland kayak part 6

Step 5 Lash the keelson to the ribs

Lash the keelson to the ribs with the nylon mason twine. Cut a piece of twine the length of the boat.
Tie off the line at the bow and start lashing in the direction of the cockpit. You will get somewhere in the vicinity of the cockpit. Clamp off the loose end of lashing twine.
Cut another piece of lashing twine the length of the boat. This time start lashing at the stern. Lash in the direction of the cockpit. Tie the two loose ends of the lashing together where ever they meet.
