Step 2Major Marks and Cuts
Roll out your cloth.
Cut it a few inches longer than your boat.
Fold it in half.
Mark the center line with pencil. This line will follow the keel.
Lay the cloth on your hull with the pencil line down the center of the keel.
Stretch the cloth tight end to end the length of the keel. Clamp it in place at the stem knuckles (where the keel meets the stems) with whatever kind of clamps you have.
Pull the ends of cloth to fit around the bow and mark where to sew it together with pencil.
