a) Measure & mark the hull opening
as mentioned before.
b) Trace a parallel line, 10 – 15 mm
away from marked-up hull
opening, to allow for position of
rebate.
c) Trace a parallel line, 100 – 150
mm away from marked-up
position of rebate, to allow for
area to be shaved down to allow 
for the construction of the 
rebate.
 
d) Drill holes in the corners of lines 
marking the rebate position and 
cut out this piece of the hull. 
e) Shave down the marked up area
for construction of rebate ( see
“c” above ). Make sure when
grading the hull not to exceed ½ 
the hull thickness. 
 
f) Shave down hull-cut out to half 
its original thickness.
 
g) Use piece of wood (195 x 267 
mm) to make male mould for
rebate construction. Position & 
temporarily fix this on shaved 
down hull cut-out, allowing 10 – 
15 mm all-round. Make sure all 
lines are smooth and liberally wax
this mould.
h) Position & secure this in hull
opening, making sure outside hull
lines are smooth. 
 
i) Build the rebate, using matt & 
roving on the inside of the hull.
Do not exceed the original 
thickness and shape of the hull.

j) Once rebate is set, remove the male plug. Now remove temporarily fixed piece of wood from
shaved down hull cut-out and keep the hull cut-out to use as closing plate.
