Then bow and stern segment are
connected.
Therefore, take out the split pin
from the keel rod.
Pull the to keel rods upwards
outside the hull and join them
(as
shown in the picture)
.
The rod with
the riveted half tube
has to be "on top"
of the other,
and the hemispherical end has to
be joined "under" the half tube.
Ensure that the stem still sits
neatly and symmetrical inside the
hull, then slowly press the keel
rods downwards into the hull.
Especially during the first few
assembling this can be a little
difficult, because of the high
tension.
But it gets easier each time.
The keel rods then get connected
with the split pin.
